All but one Senate Democrat has been trying to come to the rescue of their beloved illegal aliens by demanding ICE reforms as part of any funding for the parts of Homeland Security which are currently unfunded, and that of course includes the TSA.
President Trump turned the tables on the Left after long lines started at U.S. airports due to TSA staffing issues, and of course the Democrats are having fits (but when don't they?):

The chairman of the DNC is joining other Democrats in trying to recast blame for the partial shutdown. They also like to keep saying that ICE agents are "untrained" because the Left likes to insult law enforcement officials who have the gall to risk their own safety to get criminals off the streets:
Trump's genius plan to fix the air travel crisis that he caused is to send armed, untrained ICE agents to airports.

This is what he’d rather do than pass the Democrats’ plan to get the lines moving and pay the TSA workers keeping us safe. https://t.co/arhDKqeSiL
How's all the anti-ICE rhetoric and attempts to strip its funding working out for you, DNC?
It's what happens when Democrats block funding for DHS.

It's that simple.
It's absolute genius. Don't give Democrats an inch with their half assed bill to defund ICE. The majority of American voters support ICE and the SAVE act. Look it up. You're in the minority.

Here's the second part of that post:

This is a lie. You know they were trained.

No, you guys are choosing this. And if you don't like it, fund DHS.
It is shameful that you are refusing to do this in the middle of a war.
"Shameful" is the Democrats' specialty.
