BREAKING: Trump tells ICE ‘NO MASKS’ at airports

"I am a BIG proponent of ICE wearing masks as they search for, and are forced to deal with, hardened criminals, many of whom were let into our Country by Sleepy Joe Biden and his wonderful “Border Czar,” Kamala (she never even went to the Border!), through their absolutely INSANE Open Border Policy. I would greatly appreciate, however, NO MASKS, when helping our Country out of the Democrat caused MESS at the airports, etc. Thank you! President DJT" the post read.

Agents were deployed to airports on Monday to assist Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers as Democratic lawmakers continue to withhold full funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Trump announced the move Sunday in a post on Truth Social, one day after warning that ICE would be brought in to support TSA operations if Democrats did not cooperate on DHS funding. The agency is currently facing a partial government shutdown that has left TSA employees without pay, as Democratic lawmakers have pushed for a funding agreement that excludes ICE.

“On Monday, ICE will be going to airports to help our wonderful TSA Agents who have stayed on the job despite the fact that the Radical Left Democrats, who are only focused on protecting hard line criminals who have entered our Country illegally, are endangering the USA by holding back the money that was long ago agreed to with signed and sealed contracts, and all,” Trump wrote.

“But watch, no matter how great a job ICE does, the Lunatics leading the incompetent Dems will be highly critical of their work,” Trump added.

The president said that Broder Czar Tom Homan will be “in charge” of the initiative. In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, Homan said ICE agents would not replace TSA screeners but would instead take on other security roles at airports.
