Just to be entirely clear, Trump's holding air travel hostage for the SAVE Act.
Hannah Brandt @HannahBrandt_TV
BREAKING: In a phone call just minutes ago President Trump told me Democrats want to make a deal on DHS funding but he doesn’t “think any deal should be made on this until they approve save America.”
First I asked him how long he’s prepared to have ice agents help out at airports
He told me, “For as long as it takes.”
Then I asked “Some lawmakers are saying they should just fund TSA while they negotiate on DHS. What do you think about that?”
President Trump said “Now that I did this the Democrats want to make a deal. And I don’t think any deal should be made on this until they approve SAVE America. Ok, so you have a scoop.”

Chuck Schumer says 'despicable' GOP blocked TSA funding seven times, calls it hostage tactic
Taking to X on Saturday, March 21, Schumer signaled he would push the issue onto the Senate floor, warning that GOP lawmakers would have to go on record over whether they support funding TSA employees as the Department of Homeland Security shutdown drags on.
He later slammed the GOP accusing it to attempting a hostage tactic against the TSA.
