Trump says he is a ‘BIG proponent’ of ICE wearing masks
Trump ordered ICE agents deployed to assist TSA at airports nationwide to not wear masks, aiming to ease public concern despite criticism from Democrats and security experts.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump told Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials not to wear masks during airport deployments and announced in a Sunday post that ICE would assist the Transportation Security Administration.
- Over the last year, Democrats have objected to ICE agents wearing masks, while the Trump administration cited increased attacks on agents as justification.
- On Truth Social he added he is 'I am a BIG proponent of ICE wearing masks' but wants 'NO MASKS' at airports and told reporters airports 'don't tend to see 'murderers, killers, and drug dealers', citing '11,888'.
- Visible scenes at airports showed critics warning that untrained ICE agents could 'brutalize, or in some instances kill' travelers, as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries warned on CNN.
- Civil‑rights critics say masked, armed immigration teams have terrorized immigrant families and helped manufacture a 'theater of war', while the Trump administration argues the mask ban in airports may help assuage travelers' fears.
