Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should not be deployed at airports during the current partial government shutdown, calling it “really disturbing.” He accused President Trump of “asking for trouble” with this decision.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) went even further, claiming that ICE agents could “brutalize or, in some instances, kill” innocent passengers at airports. Over the top with outrageous propaganda much, Temu Obama?
I wonder how this story will be handled, as it does not align with their narrative. Interestingly, an ICE agent recently saved a baby’s life. You can’t see much in this video but you’ll get the gist of what was going on:
Fox News’ Bill Melugin:
WATCH; DHS tells @FoxNews that an ICE agent saved the life of a 1-year-old boy who had gone unresponsive & wasn’t breathing while waiting in a TSA line at JFK airport yesterday. Video shows the boy’s father panicking as the boy goes limp in his arms, before the ICE agent runs over to help. DHS says the ICE agent assessed the boy, performed the Heimlich maneuver on him, and he began breathing again and made a full recovery.
No way Schumer or Jeffries, two of the worst people in Congress, will put out a statement praising the heroics of the ICE agent. That said, the Department of Homeland Security did put out a statement to Fox News:
WASHINGTON – On March 25, 2026, an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent helping to support Transportation Security Administration (TSA) operations at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York jumped into action to help save the life of a one-year-old child experiencing a medical emergency.
You can just imagine the dread this poor father was going through, thinking his son was dying in his arms:
The heroic actions of this officer began when a one-year-old child became unresponsive in the arms of his father, unable to breathe for almost two minutes. CCTV review shows a passenger in a TSA Precheck line holding his one-year-old in his arms when the child’s arms go lifeless; panic ensues, and the father is seen scrambling around the area, and calling for help.
The ICE agent wasn’t there to “abuse” travelers, he was there to help, especially when it counted.
The agent working at his post, heard the screams from the father and other passengers and sprinted to the scene. The father handed the child to the officer, who then assessed the unresponsive child and began performing the Heimlich maneuver. After a few seconds, the child started breathing again. EMS personnel arrived on scene with medical equipment to further monitor and re-assess the child. The child was re-assessed and determined to be healthy enough to fly.
ICE has been unfairly vilified by Democrats, who are refusing to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) unless their extreme, insane demands – such as ending illegal immigration enforcement actions – are met. All officers are trying to do is address the chaos created by Joe Biden’s problematic immigration policies.
This situation shows once again that these officers are human beings, not villains. For Democrats to portray those serving our country as enemies of the state is beyond depraved. What a horrible party filled with horrible people.
