Schumer knocks Trump on Iran, plan to send ICE to airports: 'Asking for trouble'

Schumer made the comments while speaking on the Senate floor Sunday, saying Trump's decision is "impulsive" and could make the situation at airports worse.

"No one has any faith in ICE agents. They haven't received training. They don't know what it is to be a TSA person and do what you need to do," he continued. "And the real problem here is they have no plan for using these ICE agents. Trump says, send them there. They send them there. And Homan says they're still drawing up plans with less than a day's notice. What is this? We know what it is. It's another impulsive action by Donald Trump."

"Some idea pops into his head and he announces it. And then the people working for him, a few of whom do have some degree of talent and ability. Not many underlings. They have to rush to try and implement what they know is an idiotic plan," he said.

Schumer also used his time on the Senate floor Sunday to criticize Trump's actions in Iran. 

"Donald Trump said, 'you know, I may have a plan or I may not for a war,'" Schumer said. "There's people's lives are at stake. Billions are being spent on an almost daily basis. And he says, you know, 'I may have a plan or I may not.' These are the words of the commander in chief in the middle of a war involving one of the most dangerous regimes on Earth. 'I have a plan, or I may not.'"

"That's unhinged and dangerous. Lives are on the line. The president says he may not even have a plan. Tens of billions are being wasted. No plan. Troops being killed and injured, no plan. Civilians being killed and injured. No plan. Gasoline costs $3.94 a gallon on average. And Trump, 'I have no plan'," Schumer said.

Meanwhile, Schumer and his allies have refused to approve DHS funding without reforms to immigration enforcement.

Airports across the country have reported huge numbers of employees calling out sick or not showing up for work. More than 400 TSA employees have quit their jobs.

"On Monday, ICE will be going to airports to help our wonderful TSA Agents who have stayed on the job despite the fact that the Radical Left Democrats, who are only focused on protecting hard-line criminals who have entered our Country illegally, are endangering the USA by holding back the money that was long ago agreed to with signed and sealed contracts, and all," Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social.

Trump also predicted blowback from Democrats, saying they would complain "no matter how great a job ICE does."
