The Trump administration is acknowledging U.S.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has used spyware to intercept encrypted messages as part of its effort to disrupt trafficking of fentanyl.

Delta Airlines is the latest carrier to announce higher fees for checked baggage in response to the rising costs for jet fuel.

Beginning today, Delta says most domestic and short-haul international passengers will pay $45 to check a bag.

A second checked bag will cost $55.

The fees represent a $10 increase.

A third check bag on Delta will cost $200, a jump of $50.

Last week, United and JetBlue both announced higher fees for their check bags.

Wall Street futures are sharply higher this morning.
