Briefly

Trump says 'no masks' for ICE agents at U.S. airports
"I am a BIG proponent of ICE wearing masks as they search for, and are forced to deal with, hardened criminals. I would greatly appreciate, however, NO MASKS, when helping our Country out of the Democrat caused MESS at the airports."
"The airport plan has drawn criticism from Democrats, labor groups, and civil liberties advocates, who say ICE agents lack aviation screening training and warn their presence could alarm travelers."
"Senate Democrats have pushed for a short-term funding bill paired with new limits on ICE, including requirements for visible identification, body cameras, and tighter rules on enforcement actions."
Trump expressed support for ICE agents not wearing masks while assisting at airports, despite advocating for their use during immigration operations. ICE agents were deployed to major airports to support TSA amid funding issues, focusing on managing passenger flow rather than conducting immigration enforcement. This deployment has faced criticism from various groups concerned about the lack of aviation screening training for ICE agents and the potential alarm it may cause travelers. Congressional negotiations over DHS funding remain stalled, with differing views on ICE's role and operational guidelines.
