Air travelers have been facing long security lines at airports as TSA agents go unpaid amid a Department of Homeland Security funding lapse.
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said Democrats want to ban U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers from wearing face masks so the officials can be doxxed and their families terrorized. 'Senate Democrats want to ban ICE officers from wearing masks so their left-wing street militias can dox the officers and terrorize the officers’ wives and children at their homes,' Cotton asserted in a post on X.
'That’s why TSA lines are so long,' he added. TSA workers have not been getting paid due to an ongoing Department of Homeland Security funding lapse. President Donald Trump recently deployed ICE officers to airports amid the political standoff over DHS funding. In a Monday Truth Social the president indicated that he did not want ICE to wear masks while working at airports. 'I am a BIG proponent of ICE wearing masks as they search for, and are forced to deal with, hardened criminals, many of whom were let into our Country by Sleepy Joe Biden and his wonderful 'Border Czar,' Kamala , through their absolutely INSANE Open Border Policy. I would greatly appreciate, however, NO MASKS, when helping our Country out of the Democrat caused MESS at the airports, etc. Thank you!' the president declared in the post.
