Trump's ICE Plan: Agents at Airports, Shutdown Drags On

0:00On March 21st, President Trump has warned that he might send immigration and customs enforcement agents to major U.S. airports if Democrats do not. Agreed to new border security measures, this comes as a government shutdown drags on, hitting airport operations hard. In a recent social media post, Trump said ICE agents would take over security duties in a big way, focusing on arresting undocumented immigrants right. At the terminals, he claims this would make travel safer than ever. Travelers are facing hours-long delays at busy hubs, and some transportation security administration workers have quit or picked up extra jobs just to. Get by without paychecks. The dispute boils down to funding for the Department of Homeland Security, with both sides stuck on immigration rules. Trump also called out leaders in Minnesota, including Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, for what he sees as weak policies hurting the state. As the shutdown stretches into its second week, eyes are on whether this ICE plan moves forward or if a deal gets done to reopen government services. Smoothly.
