House Democrat smacks down Trump's rambling ICE threat: 'This man can't win'
A House Democrat smacked down President Donald Trump's rambling threat to deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to airports nationwide.
Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday that he is considering sending ICE officers to conduct security screenings at airports as negotiations to reopen part of the Department of Homeland Security seem to have stalled.
"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.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) clapped back at Trump, reminding him that she holds only one office, whereas his Truth Social post suggests she holds three.
"This man can’t win one election in Minnesota, but apparently I won three offices simultaneously," Omar posted on X.
Trump's threat came as the Senate debated legislation to reopen parts of DHS that had been shut down for more than a month. Democrats have demanded reforms to ICE in exchange for supporting legislation to reopen the agency.
