The second conditional

President Trump posted on Truth Social, quote, 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.

Now, in a subsequent post, he said that he instructed ICE agents to be ready by Monday.

And now the President is saying that you, sir, are going to be in charge.

Are ICE agents going to move into American airports starting tomorrow, Monday?

And I'm currently working on the plan now of execution, working with the director of ICE and the administrator at tsa, the acting administrator.

So we'll put together a plan today and we'll execute tomorrow.

Okay, so there are a lot of questions here.

First of all, are ICE agents even remotely trained to handle security at airports?

ICE agents receive a high level of training and you know, the ICE agents are assigned at many airports across the country already.

They do a lot of investigation, criminal investigation, on smuggling aided reports.

But you know, there's, I mean we've got TS agents covering exits.

You know, people that enter through the exits.

You know, certainly a highly trained ICE law enforcement officer can cover an exit.

Makes people, people don't go through those exits, entering the airport through the exits and that stuff like that relieves that TSA officer to go to screening and to reduce those lines.

So wherever we can provide extra security.

I don't see an ICE agent looking at an X ray machine because, because they're not trained in that.

There are certain parts of security that TSA is doing that we can move them off those jobs and put them in the specialized jobs, help move those lines.

Okay, that was going to be my next question.

So what you're saying is when you move ICE into airports, they are going to be just around the exits and the exteriors.

They're not going to be helping people get through the lines and screening people's bags.

I'm not an expert at tsa, so that's why I'm talking to the TSA administrator and the ICE director, find out where we can fit in.

We'll have a plan by the end of today where we're sending, what airports we're starting with and where we're sending them.

But that's the discussion we're having right now.

I ended the discussion to do the show and I'll be back having those discussions when I finish.

we will be at the airports tomorrow, helping TSA move those lines along.

And I know you said it's a work in progress, but

at least at the beginning of the Are there airports that you're specific airports that you're thinking about starting with and how many ICE agents are you considering deploying to do this?

That's going based on discussions we're having today.

I think we need to, My, my, my opinion is that we concentrate on airports where the longest waits are.

A large airport with a long wait like three hours.

I think we got to prioritize what we do like we do everything else.

So again, having those discussions continue, discussions after the show with the, the leadership of those agencies will lead us to some decisions based on prioritization where we deploy, how quick we deploy, how many agents we deploy.

So hopefully we'll have all those answers here by this afternoon, but we're working on it.

And when we deploy tomorrow, we'll have a well thought out plan to execute.

With respect, if you're doing this in 24 hours, how well thought out could it possibly be?

Again, ICE has been at airports across the country for a long time.

Look, it does, how much of a plan does it mean to guard an exit to make sure no one comes through that exit?

We're talking about security options and these officers are well trained in security and they're well trained in identification.

And look, we're going to do what we can to help TSA move those people to the line.

And last question on this because this is important and I realize that this is clearly a plane that you're creating while it's in the air here.

But this is a question that a lot of people are asking.

Is it just going to be crowd control or will ICE officers also be doing immigration enforcement while they are at the airports?

We do immigration enforcement at airports all the time.

This is about helping the men and women at tsa.

This is about going to helping TSA do their mission and get the American public through that airport as quick as they can while adhering to all the security guidelines and the protocols.

We're simply there to help TSA do their job in areas that don't, don't need their specialized expertise, such as, you know, screening through the X ray machine, not training that we won't do that.

But there are roles we can play to release TSA officers from the non significant role such as guarding and exit so they can get back to the scanning machines and move people quicker.

And we're just simply helping our fellow officers at tsa.

I'm going to bring in my panel now to respond to that.

Congressman Kylie, I should say the last time you were on the show you were a Republican.

Since then you've switched your party affiliation to independent as you trying to work through the redistricting in your home state of California.

And what do you think about the idea of sending ICE to airports?

Well, the lines that people are having to deal with are a problem, a big problem.

And so, you know, anything we can do to make travel a little more seamless right now I think is fine.

But that is a very temporary and not ideal solution.

What we need to do is fund the Department of Homeland Security.

That will get our TSA agents paid, that'll get our Coast Guard paid, that will get FEMA funded.

And we can do this in a way that reaches a bipartisan compromise around this issue related to ice.

I think there are common sense reforms that both sides can support.

But having an unfunded Department of Homeland Security at a moment when we have this heightened threat environment in the United States, it is absolutely unacceptable.

And it is such a clear example of how Congress is broken in so many ways.

Well, I agree with you that Congress is broken.

I have a lot of questions about what he said.

What are the functions that they're going to be performing?

Are they going to make it more complicated?

Are people going to start to see people not even willing to travel because they're intimidated by them?

We could settle this tomorrow and fund tsa, fema, which by the way got gutted a year ago.

Not in this funding of Homeland Security by Doge and fund the Coast Guard and deal with the ICE issue which has to be dealt with front and center.

Look, I think I associate myself with the gentleman's from California's comments.

Look, Congresswoman, you know Tom Holman was up on the Hill negotiating, trying to get this bill passed in the Senate.

You've seen the White House give on lots of things.

The White House has given and given and given.

Fact of the matter is Chuck Schumer is just a chicken shit.

I'll say it because he's concerned that he's not going to be the majority leader doesn't want to pass anything that doesn't just blow up ice.

Chuck Schumer won't allow it to be done in the Senate.
