Trump to Deploy "Surge" ICE Agents to Airports for Security Operations

[candycorn]

This should be good news to both Democrats and Republicans, so long as they are not adversely affected by Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Democrats should rejoice at ICE agents being diverted from deporting the illegals their president and Border Czarina brought in, and Republicans, who often travel for work and leisure will be glad to see relief from the long lines at the airports.

"If the Democrats do not allow for Just and Proper Security at our Airports, and elsewhere throughout our Country, ICE will do the job far better than ever done before!" he wrote in a post on Truth Social, adding later, "I look forward to moving ICE in on Monday, and have already told them to, 'GET READY.'"

The move came hours after the president first threatened to move ICE agents to airports, writing in a post on Truth Social earlier Saturday, "If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before."

In the first post, Trump also said ICE agents’ work in airports would include “the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country.”

Oh.

Okay, with that last part, I suppose Democrats won't be happy after all.

Trump says he's sending federal immigration agents to airports on Monday amid DHS shutdown

Trump said ICE agents' work in airports would include "the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country."

Its great news for the left I think.

It draws attention to the blob's failed domestic agenda.

This is great news. We can spend $80B getting our bags checked for liquid shampoo. This is Trumps best idea yet. 7th level chess. lol

I know right? Seldom does the MAGA cult rear it's ugly nicotine stained head in such gleeful joy not realizing what a blatantly silly move this would be.

Why do Left Wing people want to live in a society where folk have committed an illegal act, as in, broke the law? What's the fascination with offenders? I'm law abiding, so I find that weird.

Is it because those that support illegals have offended too (shop lifting, murder, battery etc..) but have not been caught? There must be a reason.

Didn't you vote for a 34X convicted felon to lead our society?

It really continuously amazes me how with our millions of laws written, how easily time and again, our very government still finds ways of tripping over their own feet, hosing up the whole nation, and yet, everyone in Washington stands around mouth open, slack-jawed, lost for worlds on how to fix anything.

Government has a contingency for everything except itself--- no provision on who has what power to do what if this branch or that branch does this or doesn't do that.

This is not rocket science people---

1. You immediately cut all funding, pay and benefits to those refusing to restore government. Restore a functioning government, then you have 30 days to resolve a permanent solution or else.
2. Individuals in government found to be purposefully blocking government not doing their jobs are removed from office, all pay and benefits cancelled.
3. Beyond 30 days, you call an emergency meeting, borrow funds from another agency (Dept of Agriculture?) (Musk also offered to pay TSA), and/or send other people in (ICE, NG, etc.) to fill these positions.

Any employer in business has performance standards--- don't meet them and out the door you go, so why not government?
I cannot imagine it takes much brains nor training in order to feel up or x-ray passengers to board a plane.

Also, why can't they simply institute emergency procedures to speed the screening up? Stop wasting time worrying whether a grandmother with cancer in a wheelchair is a terrorist and focus on the young, male muzzies.

Well instead of spending $100B on steaks, lobsters, and pianos, the blob could have transferred the money to pay the TSA folks.

Good Grief is right!

I'm incredibly happy about ICE moving into the airports. They showed how unqualified they were on the streets...now they can rough up people in the airport for no reason.

No because I can't vote in America.

Nice dodge though, but it would be good if folk didn't go into politician mode and just answer questions straight.

My vote would go to Josh Hawley if he stood for president, but I'm English in the UK, so I couldn't.

Soon enough when empowered again you will get the rest of Homeland Security to destroy American citizens. Guaranteed! You will have Progressive Socialist Communist leadership in all the right positions to do so.

Convicted by Joe Stalin though.

If you think that's weird remember the MAGA wing elected:

• A 34 count convicted felon.
• A man literally writing checks in the oval office to pay off his fixer attorney for having boinked a porn star years before while his wife was at home having just given birth to his son.
• An Adjudicted Sex Abuser found by a jury.
• A man indicted for Espionage against his own country (the charged being dismissed by his own judge, not on the merit but some contrived technicality that no other competent judges agree with).
• A man indicted for attempting to interfer with the fucntioning of Congress.
• A man that then pardon - IIRC - about 1600 of his followers for attacking Congress.
• A man stole from his own charity.
• A man whose business was convicted of felony tax fraud.
• A man that bankrupted not one, but two casino where the business model is that people walk in and hand you their money.
• A man that started multiple businesses on his "Name Brand", get his money, and then left investors holding the bag.
• A man whose business practices were to rouitinely stiff the little guys trademen for work performed and deny them payment. People that couldn't affored to take him to court.

I'm a law abiding Republican that voted GOP in every election from 1978 to 2016 and I find it weird that MAGA took over my party. (NOTE: Yes, in 2016 I voted for a GOP candidate twice. Kasich in both the primary and general elections.)

Great so ICE will now assault and capture Americans and tourists at airports. That's just what the airline industry needs right now.

Actually, what our airlines need right now is for Democrat representatives to pull their heads out of their asses and rejoin the country.

Josh Hawley.... get some sleep.

ICE will still be on the streets going after criminal illegal aliens beefed up by CBP agents just as they are now....

.

I see lots more ICE hires happening.

Good stuff!

Americans support deportation. They want it done with due process, no bullying, no fear, no truncheons and guns.

The unneeded fear is on the part of ICE agents surrounded by temper tantrum throwing protesters who spit on them, assault them and carry firearms to "protest" them.

As far as the illegal aliens being afraid of being deported, how are they not going to be in fear of that, knowing that they are in violation of a law whose consequence is deportation?

You are gaslighting. That's what ICE does. When the Dems take Congress they will do an investigation on the ICE killings.

What will be their platform to convince the American people to vote for them?

Will it be "Let's go back to the Biden-era border!"

Or will they hang their hat on transgender kids in sports and unlimited abortions?

Good points. Remember, though, the Obama and Biden people deported three times the number of 1st term Trump deportations.

How about have ICE go back to following the law and stop hurting people.

Great.

But how did they deal with the protesters?

How did they get all those judicial warrants?

How about have ICE go back to following the law and stop hurting people.

When ICE is wrong, they are wrong. Every law enforcement agency has incidents in which officers make mistakes and even deliberately violate people's rights.

But the protesters are protesting that ICE is detaining illegals, which is their job, not that ICE breaks the law. They are protesting that ICE is doing under Trump what you yourself say they did a lot more of under Biden and OBama, without some very brief grumbling from the left, but no violence.

The protesters become violent and ICE officers are much more prone to make mistakes when that happens. One person struck an ICE officer with her vehicle and another person attacked ICE officers while carrying a loaded gun. Those are facts, no matter how much anyone hates Donald Trump.

Did the ICE officers respond perfectly and by the book? Maybe not. An investigation will settle that question, and if consequences are appropriate for any of the officers, they should be appled.

What we do know is that each of those individuals themselves started the chain of events that led to their deaths. They did it in the heat of the moment, which increased the probability that they would make a mistake, just as it increased that possibility for law enforcement.

Let's dial down the heated rhetoric about ICE and have a calm discussion, so we don't make mistakes also.

Do they not arrest illegal aliens they find at airports already?

Sure they do.

Issue is stupid. Fund the government.

Lefties all want millions of illegal immigrants surrounding them? Why?
