But president says he’s still a ‘BIG’ proponent of cloaks when dealing with ‘hardened criminals’
PALM BEACH, Florida – President Donald Trump is weighing in on whether federal agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, should be wearing masks.
And his verdict is to wear them when apprehending “hardened criminals,” but not while helping TSA agents at American airports, as they make their debut there Monday.
Trump posted on Truth Social: “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 (she never even went to the Border!), 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!”
🚨 President Trump just dropped a STRAIGHT-FIRE take on ICE wearing masks:

Democrats in Congress have been holding up funding for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which includes ICE, with one of their demands being that ICE agents be unmasked at all times.
Republicans and the agents themselves have opposed the unmasking, as many have been doxxed by leftists targeting them and their families.
Speaking to reporters at Palm Beach International Airport Monday, Trump said: “For purposes of the airport, I’ve requested they take off the mask. I don’t like it for the airport, and I believe they are willing to do it.”
“The people coming into the airport typically speaking aren’t murderers, killers, drug dealers, etc. There may be a few of them, but there are many people that want to come into the country or that people want to leave the country going to maybe their home country.”
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just gave the PERFECT answer to the fake news on ICE
“Why not wear masks in the airport, but do it when they’re out in the country?!”

“So I didn’t think it was an appropriate look for an airport. I think it’s a very appropriate look when they’re out on the street trying to find one of the 11,888 murderers that sleepy Joe Biden led into our country!”
