President Donald Trump praised Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers for their “larger” and “harder” muscles that they’re "supposed to have” after he deployed agents into more than a dozen airports, where their presence doesn’t appear to have made a dent in hours-long security lines across the country.

“They are so proud to be there!” he wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday.

Trump said agents are “rehabbing” their “fake image” from Democratic critics — after months of violence and allegations of unconstitutional abuse and the deadliest streak of in-custody deaths in the agency’s history — by picking up trash and helping people with bags. Officers have mostly been seen strolling through terminals or standing in groups, largely unable to help TSA agents expedite security screenings while travelers are stuck in lines plaguing airports across the country.

“The Public is loving ICE, so the Democrats, unwittingly, did us a favor,” Trump wrote. “They are Great American Patriots, they just happen to have much larger, and harder, muscles than most — which is what they’re supposed to have.”
