Trump Threatens to Place ICE Agents at Airports If Democrats Don’t Agree to Fund DHS
Breitbart ^ | 21 Mar 2026 | Elizabeth Weibel

President Donald Trump threatened to place U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at airports if Democrats don’t agree to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

In a post on Truth Social, Trump explained that if Democrat lawmakers “don’t immediately sign an agreement” to fund DHS, he would place ICE agents at airports to “do Security like no one has ever seen before,” including allowing them to arrest all illegal aliens in the United States.

“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, including the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country, with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia, who have totally destroyed, with the approval of a corrupt Governor, Attorney General, and Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, the once Great State of Minnesota,” Trump wrote.

Trump’s post comes after “three people” who were granted anonymity explained to Politico that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is “planning to put a stalled” bill to fund DHS “on the House floor a third time next week.”

Johnson’s reported plans come as Democrats in the Senate have “refused to approve DHS funding without adding new restrictions on immigration enforcement,” according to the outlet.

As lawmakers have continued not to find an agreement to fund DHS, which is in charge of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), many airports throughout the United States have seen long TSA lines as Spring break travelers flood the airports.

That is genius. Have ICE agents handle security especially during Spring Break weeks, and of course, the democrats will counter with protesters at every airport they can man.

I can see angry passengers, but not at ICE and not at Trump.

Until the shutdown is over, All members of Congress should be on a no fly list. They are being paid so they can fly private if need be.

I am most interested in watching how the ICE agents act, when they augment the unpaid TSA airport inspectors. I am also most interested in watching how the communists protest the action. Especially when those protesters explore the boundaries of "peaceful" as they have in the sanctuary cities and states.

Which means I don't want to be anywhere near the crossfire that will plague our airports. The TSA's rule changes made running the gauntlet of new rules bad enough; now the risk of injury makes flying even less inviting.

I have a feeling that airline stocks will take a hit if and when ICE arrives.

I agree about airline stocks.

I expect them to take another big hit Monday since the CEO of United just stated that he is making his plans based on $175/barrel oil, and he also stated he expects at least $100/barrel oil until 2027.
