The president of the largest federal workers & #TSA #union is pressing #House members to pass the #legislation approved by the #Senate to fund the #DHS.
“Failure to pass this bipartisan compromise today will guarantee that the challenges DHS employees face paying mortgages & monthly rents, credit card bills & automobile loans, college tuition & childcare, & groceries & medical care will mount,” said Everett Kelley, president of the #AFGE, in a letter to lawmakers.

The #House #GOP plan would be a short-term funding extension, providing money for the full department for 8 weeks, one source said.
The move will set up a clash with the #Senate, which has already left town for their 2-week Easter & Passover recess, & will likely prolong the #DHS shutdown by at least several more days.

4. Trump’s Transportation Department scrapped a Biden-era rule that would have required airlines to give cash refunds to passengers for significant travel disruptions and delays within the airlines’ control.
5. The Transportation Department is also reportedly planning to claw back other protections around passenger refunds, cut requirements for airlines to disclose junk fees, and roll back rules holding airlines liable for damaged wheelchairs.
Robert Reich enumerates Trump's air travel challenges:
1. Lines are getting longer at airports.
2. Air-traffic controllers are way understaffed and underpaid.
3. Ticket prices are soaring and flights are being cancelled because the cost of jet fuel is soaring.

"Trump has made it explicitly clear that he’s not approving any funding deal unless Republicans pass the SAVE America Act, which is itself another desperate attempt to disenfranchise voters."

"It’s so obvious that Republicans are terrified of the absolute devastation they’re facing in this election, if they feel like they have to literally physically scare voters away from the polls.
Then there’s the fact that this isn’t just about ending the stalemate over funding and ending the DHS shutdown."

"First you had these masked idiots terrorizing Americans in the streets. Then you send them to the airports, to make the already stressful process of making a flight on time even worse. The end goal is apparently to take all the skills they’ve mastered and apply them to the midterms."

"And thus, we have Donald Trump’s latest rotting brainstorm: Trump has now deployed ICE agents to airports to somehow shorten the monstrous queues at TSA checkpoints."
"If there is any Trump government run spectacle more absurd than long, shuffling lines of citizens surrendering their belts, phones, and carry-ons to a rubber bin, it is the ignorant and simplistic belief that such a security spectacle can be improved by the addition of ICE agents."

Democratic ofcls recoiled this week at the detention. Mr. Garamendi, a #Democrat, said that it was the latest example of how the #Trump admin was rounding up mothers & children instead of focusing its #immigration enforcement on dangerous criminals.
He also condemned the sharing of passenger information by #TSA with #ICE, saying that data sharing seemed to be “omnipresent” under the Trump admin, putting personal information at risk & bypassing #DueProcess.
Government documents obtained by NYT explain the events leading up to the tense scene, including the exchange between the agent & Ms. Lopez-Jimenez.
The documents shed new light on how the #TSA is sharing with #ICE officials the names & birth dates of travelers believed to have been ordered out of the country by a judge. That has made it easier for the #Trump admin to detain & deport undocumented immigrants as they pass through #airports.
The woman & her 9-yr-old daughter were walking through Terminal 3 at SanFrancisco International Airport [ #SFO] on Sunday night, heading to their gate to fly to Miami to visit a relative, when a stranger in plainclothes approached.
“Angelina?” he asked.
“Sí,” she responded.
Minutes later, Angelina Lopez-Jimenez was on her knees, crying, as 2 #immigration agents were handcuffing her in front of her daughter, according to video footage that went viral this week.
#TSA Tipped Off #ICE Agents Before Arrests at #SanFrancisco #Airport
Transportation Security Administration officials told ICE that a mother & daughter under a detention order had planned to fly domestically, federal documents show.

Lopez-Jimenez, 41, a native of Guatemala, & her daughter, Wendy Godinez-Lopez, were flagged by #TSA ofcls Friday when they showed up on a passenger list for a Sunday flight from San Francisco to Miami. TSA then tipped off #ICE, acc/to the documents.
Lopez-Jimenez & her daughter were living in Contra Costa County, CA, east of the San Francisco Bay Area, acc/to the congressman for that region, John Garamendi. She had no criminal history, though she entered the country illegally.
