We explore the optics of the situation, where Trump gets credit for addressing the airport crisis without owning the ICE funding gap. Michael also touches on the Democrats' strategy, which may have set a precedent for holding security agencies hostage for policy concessions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener"&gt;omnystudio.com/listener&lt;/a&gt; for privacy information.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
