Trump Threatens to Send ICE Agents to Airports
President Trump threatened to send ICE agents to airports on Saturday. He said Congress had not funded airport security.
Republicans and Democrats in the Senate are fighting over this funding. The fight caused a government shutdown lasting 36 days so far.
Airport security workers have now missed 2 paychecks. ICE agents normally handle immigration, not airport security.
Klear Note — ICE handles immigration enforcement at borders. TSA agents screen passengers at airports. A government shutdown stops funding for federal workers.
