The Democratic lawmaker has had enough of the president’s divisiveness.
on Sunday, host Dana Bash asked House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries about his response to Trump’s Truth Social post from earlier in the day, where heThe Democratic congressman responded bluntly: “Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut before he gets somebody killed.
” Throughout both of his presidential terms, Trump, 79, has repeatedly railed against the Democratic Party, blaming oppositional officials for nearly every single problem in America.The president and his officials frequently scapegoat their bipartisan counterparts for issues such as affordability, immigration, and, most recently, airport chaos. On Sunday, Trump reaffirmed his Saturday claim that he would move ICE agents to assist TSA employees at airport security, as the effects of the Department of Homeland Security shutdown have led to longer wait times and staffing shortages.Democratic lawmakers have refused to approve an additional funding bill for DHS until ICE and Border Patrol commit to reforming their aggressive immigration enforcement tactics. The decision follows the agency’s disastrous crackdown in Minnesota, which resulted in two American citizens being shot and killed by federal officers.Earlier in his appearance, Jeffries criticized Trump’s decision to deploy ICE agents in airports to assist TSA employees, saying that putting immigration officials in airports is “the last thing” that Americans need.“There are three things that have been true since Donald Trump and Republicans came back into power last January,” the New York representative said. “Life is more expensive, life is more chaotic, and life is more extreme. The last thing that the American people need is for untrained ICE agents to be deployed at airports all across the country, potentially to brutalize, or in some instances, kill them.” “It’s unfortunate that Republicans have decided that they would rather force TSA agents to work without pay, inconvenience millions of Americans all across the country, and now potentially expose them to untrained ICE agents and create chaos at airports throughout the land rather than get our ICE agents under control,” Jeffries added.
