Monday travelers at BWI Marshall Airport fared better than weekend flyers, even as the Department of Homeland Security’s funding lapse continued to strain staffing. BWI officials wrote on social media early Monday that security checkpoint A — closest to the check-in stations and concourses for Southwest and American Airlines — would remain closed to start the workweek.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey claimed that President Donald Trump could hire more Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents rather than deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers despite an ongoing funding shutdown on Sunday.

President Trump has given Iran 48 hours to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face strikes on its power plants and Iran is threatening to close the vital shipping waterway indefinitely if he follows through.

John Kennedy confirmed that Donald Trump killed a plan formulated to end the DHS shutdown and quickly restore funding to TSA agents.
