Trump Threatens to Deploy Federal Immigration Officers for Airport Security

Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

US President Donald Trump has announced that he will order federal immigration officers to assist with airport security if Democrats do not end the current government shutdown. The statement was made on Friday, according to reports from various news outlets.

Trump stated that if a funding deal is not reached, he plans to deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to airports starting Monday. This move would reportedly enhance airport security measures.

The announcement comes as the US government remains in a partial shutdown due to disagreements over immigration policies. The shutdown has been ongoing since December 2018.

Separately, Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, has offered to cover the pay for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents if the government shutdown continues. This proposal was made on social media and has not been officially confirmed by the TSA or other authorities.

The situation remains fluid as negotiations between lawmakers continue over immigration policies and funding for government agencies.

In related news, reports from various sources indicate that Trump’s plan to deploy ICE agents to airports would significantly increase security measures at US airports.
