TSA pay may be coming, but airport delays could persist and ICE agents may not leave soon

Heading into the weekend, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to pay the tens of thousands of TSA officers who have been working without pay for over a month during a partial government shutdown. It's unclear whether the move will translate into shorter wait times for passengers at airport security lines as the budget impasse continues. White House border czar Tom Homan said Sunday that federal immigration officers deployed to assist airports could remain in place until TSA operations return to normal.

'No Kings' rallies draw crowds across US, in Europe. Springsteen headlines Minnesota demonstration

Tens of thousands of people have joined “No Kings” protests across the U.S. and in Europe against the war in Iran and President Donald Trump’s actions.

Thousands of demonstrators stood packed shoulder-to-shoulder on the Minnesota Capitol lawn and surrounding streets in St. Paul. The event’s headliner was Bruce Springsteen, who sang “Streets of Minneapolis” to honor Minnesota's resistance and two residents shot to death by federal agents. Washington, New York, London, Paris and Rome had protests, but there also were rallies in smaller cities and towns.
