Air Canada flight collides with a Port Authority vehicle at New York’s LaGuardia Airport
President Trump says that he is ready to send ICE agents into airports starting on Monday if Democrats don’t agree to *** bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security again. The details of this weren’t immediately clear, but President Trump wrote that these agents would do security like no one has ever seen before, including the immediate arrest of all illegal immigrants. Now the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee called the response *** tool of fascism, accusing the president of manufacturing chaos at airports for political leverage. Of course wait times at airport security lines have been growing. Since DHS funding lapsed more than *** month ago now, forcing TSA agents to work without pay until the partial shutdown ends, Democrats are still demanding new restrictions on immigration enforcement before fully funding the department. They have proposed only funding TSA, for example, while talks continue, but Republicans rejected that approach on Saturday as the Senate met for *** rare weekend session. There has been some move. However, on negotiations, *** bipartisan group of lawmakers has been meeting in recent days. So far though, no compromise in the way of ICE reform has emerged yet from that group. All of this as DHS may soon be under new leadership. The Senate could vote as early as this week to confirm President Trump’s new pick to take over that department. That’s Republican Senator Mark Wayne Mullen reporting at the White House. I’m Jackie DeFusco.
