ICE officers go to TSA checkpoints at Trump's direction, while long wait times at airports persist

NEW YORK (AP) — Armed federal immigration officers in tactical gear moved through terminals at some of the busiest U.S. airports Monday, standing near security lines and checkpoints after President Donald Trump ordered their deployment during a partial government shutdown that has disrupted air travel nationwide.

The Trump administration said they would supplement Transportation Security Administration staffing at certain airports but provided few details about exactly what they would be doing. Still, after intensified immigration enforcement and protests in cities across the... Read More

With long lines and other disruptions, air travel anxiety isn't just about a fear of flying

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The list of reasons why air travel can be stressful has grown as long as the security lines at some U.S. airports.

Back-to-back winter storms. The Iran war. Governmentshutdowns. A fatal runway collision between a jet and a fire truck. All have disrupted airline travel in recent months.

Pentagon spokesman says it will issue new press credentials but remove media offices

The U.S. Defense Department will issue new press credentials but remove media offices from the Pentagon after a judge sided with The New York Times in a lawsuit regarding limits on reporters’ access to the building, a department official announced Monday.

Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the agency disagrees with the ruling and will appeal.
