With no end in sight to a partial government shutdown that has left most of the Department of Homeland Security without funds to operate, President Donald Trump threatened to deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to airports to assist Transportation Security Administration officers as soon as Monday.
Writing on Truth Social from his West Palm Beach, Florida golf course Saturday, Trump demanded that Democrats “immediately” reach an agreement to fund DHS or they would force him to “move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before.”
