Platform: INSTAGRAM Author: @moby.invest --- Caption/Description --- In a post on Truth Social, President Trump said he is "so proud" of ICE officers working at airports as the partial government shutdown drags on. ⁠ ⁠ "The Public is loving ICE, so the Democrats, unwittingly, did us a favor," he wrote, adding that they are "Great American Patriots," who "just happen to have much larger, and harder, muscles than most." --- On-Screen Text (OCR) --- I am so proud of our ICE Patriots! They were unfairly maligned by the Lunatic Democrats for years, and now, at the Airports, in addition to what they are supposed to be doing, they are helping people with bags, even picking up and cleaning areas. They are so proud to be there! The fact is, they shouldn’t have to do this, but they are rehabbing a fake image given to them by Radical Left Democrat politicians. The Public is loving ICE, so the Democrats, unwittingly, did us a favor — 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. Thank you to ICE for the GREAT job you are doing. America very much appreciates it! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Claims analyzed (5)

1. verified: This post was made by Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) on Truth Social.
   Multiple credible news outlets reported on March 25, 2026, that Donald Trump posted this exact statement on Truth Social.
2. mostly true: ICE officers are helping people with bags, even picking up and cleaning areas at airports, in addition to what they are supposed to be doing.
   During the 2026 DHS shutdown, ICE agents were deployed to airports. News reports indicate they were assisting with various tasks, including helping travelers with bags, due to TSA staffing shortages. The extent of 'cleaning areas' is less explicitly detailed but falls under general assistance during a staffing crisis.
3. false: The Public is loving ICE.
   Recent polling data, such as that cited by YouGov, indicates low public approval for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), with a significant portion of Americans supporting its abolition, directly contradicting the claim that the public is 'loving ICE.'
4. unverifiable: Democrats, unwittingly, did us a favor.
   This statement expresses a subjective political opinion and cannot be objectively verified as fact.
5. unverifiable: ICE officers are Great American Patriots, they just happen to have much larger, and harder, muscles than most — which is what they’re supposed to have.
   This statement is a subjective descriptive opinion by Donald Trump and cannot be objectively verified as fact.
