(Credit: FNC, Associated Press, FNC) Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents deployed to U.S. airports to help with TSA security lines beginning Monday. President Donald Trump advised Monday that the agents should not wear masks while on that assignment, adding he could bring in the National Guard to assist with airport chaos if needed. "ICE was my idea," Trump told reporters on the tarmac before boarding Air Force One from West Palm Beach on Monday morning. "First person I called, Tom Homan, I said, what do you think? He said, I think it's great." Trump wanted to make sure with Homan that the ICE agents at the airports to help alleviate TSA security stress were not masked. S
