President Donald Trump on Thursday demanded that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer apologize for comments criticizing American immigration officials.

"Wow! Cryin’ Chuck Schumer just said, for the whole World to hear, that 'NOBODY RESPECTS BORDER PATROL OR ICE,'" he posted on Truth Social. "That is one of the most egregious, incorrect, unpatriotic, and dangerous statements I have EVER heard from a “professional” politician. HE MUST IMMEDIATELY APOLOGIZE TO THESE GREAT PATRIOTS, AND I MEAN NOW!"

Schumer made the remarks on the Senate floor while opposing a Republican-led funding plan.

"Adding $140 billion to an agency, to two groups, Border Patrol and ICE, that nobody respects in this country," he said.

Republicans have sought to provide additional funding to both organizations through a reconciliation plan that would not require Democratic support.
