(The Center Square) – With many travelers seeing long waits at airports because of the partial government shutdown, President Donald Trump said Saturday he would send Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to provide security at airports to ease the strain.

"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, including the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country, with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia, who have totally destroyed, with the approval of a corrupt Governor, Attorney General, and Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, the once Great State of Minnesota," Trump said in a post on social media. "I look forward to seeing ICE in action at our Airports."
