At least two people were arrested, including a 16-year-old girl whose mother had been detained by ICE. Hundreds of protesters gathered yesterday afternoon to oppose the arrests and ICE presence. Meanwhile, Trump is showing no signs of slowing down any of these efforts. He recently announced an order for 20,000 more deportation officers, though as yet it's unclear how that would be funded.

That would mean more than quadrupling the number of ICE officers who focus solely on rounding up and deporting immigrants. Now let's turn to major disruptions at U.S. airports. On Friday, there was another complete radar outage at a facility in Philadelphia that lasted about 90 seconds. It comes after a similar outage the week before.

The outages meant that for those 90 seconds, air traffic controllers at Newark Airport could not communicate with airplanes. a critical function that ensures that planes don't crash into one another. And the fallout lasts for days. Speaking to NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned that these problems, caused by aging infrastructure, could soon go beyond Newark.

There were other issues this weekend, too. Yesterday, on Mother's Day, Newark had to ground flights for about 45 minutes due to an air traffic equipment issue, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. There was also a ground stop at Atlanta's airport on Sunday due to a runway equipment issue. Duffy said that it is safe to fly, but stressed just how dated some of our technology is.

Duffy has proposed a multibillion-dollar plan to modernize and overhaul the country's air traffic control system. He wants to upgrade radio systems, raise the mandatory retirement age for air traffic controllers, and invest in digitizing data management tools. But even if Congress approves his proposals, don't expect a quick fix.
