Trump's USA

Border issue
Trump threatens to deploy ICE at airports

Donald Trump is threatening to deploy agents from the federal immigration police ICE at airports if the budget dispute in Congress is not resolved, he writes on Truth Social.

"If the radical left Democrats do not immediately agree to a deal to make our country, especially our airports, free and safe again, I will send our brilliant and patriotic ICE agents to the airports where they will handle security like never before."

Due to the budget deadlock, airport workers from the TSA agency are currently going without pay for the second time in six months, which has led, among other things, to their employers starting to collect food, gift cards and donations for them, writes Reuters. Lines at security checkpoints have also grown enormously.

Billionaire Elon Musk has offered to pay TSA employees' salaries until a budget is in place.
 

Russia investigation
Former FBI Director Robert Mueller dead – aged 81

Former FBI Director Robert Mueller has died, reports MS NOW (formerly MSNBC). He was 81.

Mueller was perhaps best known for the high-profile investigation into Russian election interference in the 2016 US presidential election.

The investigation, which was presented in 2019, concluded that Russia tried to influence the election through disinformation and social media. However, Mueller found no evidence that the Trump campaign collaborated with Russia.

Mueller led the FBI between 2001 and 2013. He suffered from Parkinson's for several years before his death, according to MS NOW's sources.
