Minneapolis Mayor Stumped Why Trump Can't Just Hire More TSA Agents  Seemingly Unaware He Can't Do That During Shutdown
"Frey's bogus recommendation came after co-host Jonathan Capehart asked him about the incredible threat Trump made a day before, when he said he would deploy ICE agents to help with long airport security lines on Monday."
"If the goal was keeping our streets safe and our cities [safe], he would work with cities around hiring additional police officers and creating the kind of safety infrastructure that we need to keep people safe."
"Senate Democrats on Friday voted to block House-passed legislation to fund TSA and other agencies marking the fifth time a funding bill has been shot down by Dems in recent months."
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey criticized President Trump for not hiring more TSA agents to alleviate airport chaos, not realizing that Trump cannot do so during the government shutdown. Frey claimed that Trump's security measures would not enhance safety and suggested that collaboration with cities for hiring police officers is necessary. He accused Trump of creating fear rather than ensuring safety. Senate Democrats recently blocked funding legislation for TSA, marking multiple failed attempts to secure funding amid the shutdown.
