Despite an appreciable impact on wait times, ICE agents deployed to airports still had to contend with their usual radical hangers-on — without the benefit of masks.
After promising action to alleviate the latest disaster wrought by Democrat obstructionism, President Donald Trump followed through by deploying U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to more than a dozen airports across the country.
As the unfunded Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees were freed up to clear travelers through security, some ICE patrols were stalked and heckled, with one person even shouting, “Nazis don’t belong in America.”
Footage taken at the baggage claim of Newark International Airport in New Jersey captured one woman keeping her distance as she shouted, “Go back to your master, Donald Trump. Go back to your master!”
Referencing Russian President Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, she added of the latter, “And Netanyahu, if he’s still alive. Go back to your master!” in addition to chanting, “ICE out now! ICE out now!”
Another clip of the same woman found her shouting, “Nazis don’t belong in America. And they don’t belong in airports.”

According to CNN, ICE had been sent to 13 airports on Monday across a dozen cities listed as Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, Fort Myers, New Orleans, New York City, Newark, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The network also couldn’t help but report how “ICE agents helped TSA lower Atlanta airport wait times down below an hour,” a dramatic change after many travelers had missed flights stuck in lines extending over four or five hours.

“You can see ICE agents behind me RIGHT THERE!”
“And some more over here!”
“They’ve been doing patrols.”

Before traveling to Memphis, Tennessee, for a Memphis Safe Task Force roundtable, the president spoke with the press on the tarmac at Palm Beach International Airport on Monday and said, “I want to thank ICE because they stepped in so strongly. They’ll do great — and if that’s not enough, I’ll bring in the National Guard. We’re not gonna have the Democrats destroy our country.”
“These people are the most destructive, sick people, the Democrats,” he added.
The commander-in-chief also released a statement on Truth Social drawing a distinction between the operations across the country dealing with the “hardened criminals, many of whom were let into our Country by Sleepy Joe Biden and his wonderful ‘Border Czar,’ Kamala,” and the help being provided to the TSA.
“I would greatly appreciate, however, NO MASKS, when helping our Country out of the Democrat caused MESS at the airport, etc.,” insisted the president.

Despite the baked in bias of some, including New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker (D), who ventured to Newark International Airport for a PR stunt to claim ICE was “striking fear into a lot of people,” many were clearly grateful for the federal agents and the impact they were having on keeping travelers moving.
