Out of the New Orleans airport here, security lines wrapped around for hours.

It was so crowded there that you could barely see the floor.

An airport spokesperson said TSA is short-staffed at security checkpoints because of the federal government partial shutdown leading to those longer-than-usual lines.

And it was the same story at Houston's Hobby Airport here on Sunday afternoon, lines reaching the parking lot.

The president and CEO of Airlines for America shared, quote, the airline industry and our passengers are being used as a political football once again.

This is simply unacceptable and un-American.

Five people accused of conspiring to storm a Minnesota church arraigned in federal court, all of them pleading not guilty, including former CNN anchor Don Lemon, who live-streamed the ambush.

DHS says three of the other defendants were the ringleaders.

Last month, a group of anti-ICE agitators shouted and disrupted a church service because one of the pastors works for ICE.

Following the arraignments, the lead pastor of the church shared, quote, a group of agitators disrupted our service, accosted our members, and terrified our children.

It was wrong.

It was shameful.

Last month, agitators shouted at churchgoers there in the middle of services.

Protesters targeted this church because one of the pastors works for ICE.

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon, who was live streaming, is also going to be arraigned today.

He said he was covering this as a journalist, but prosecutors say he knowingly joined the mob.

Protesters were telling people, don't go to work, don't go to school, and don't shop.

It's cold out here.

That didn't stop thousands of protesters from marching.

They held signs up.
