Democrats have refused to fund the department without new restrictions on immigration agents, and that has meant ripple effects for other branches of DHS, like TSA.

The vast majority of TSA employees are required to work during shutdowns, but there's the risk that the longer it goes on,

the more it could cause airport delays as unpaid workers begin to call in sick or don't show up.

There was a swirl of confusion over the weekend after DHS said it would pause TSA PreCheck to refocus resources, then said the program was back on.

Some Democratic lawmakers have questioned how suspending priority screenings would have helped, with one accusing the Trump administration of, quote, "...purposely punishing the American people."

And last update, authorities say the man who was shot and killed at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend had showed up at the president's private club with a shotgun and a gas canister.

Officers from the Secret Service and local law enforcement confronted him after he breached a secure perimeter, and he raised his shotgun in a, quote, shooting position.

Trump was in Washington, not Florida, at the time of the incident.

The armed man was quickly identified as 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin from Cameron, North Carolina.

Members of his family, including his mother, had posted on Facebook throughout the weekend that he was missing.

The FBI is investigating the shooting.

A classmate who served with Martin in junior ROTC said he came from a pro-Trump family.

He started a business last year, drawing golf courses.

The president and the White House have yet to comment.

A man was convicted of targeting Trump at another one of his golf courses in 2024, just weeks after the assassination attempt on Trump in Pennsylvania.

And finally, winter is not over yet.

A massive storm hitting the Northeast and the Mid-Atlantic has shut down flights and rail lines, left hundreds of thousands of households without power, and has more than 40 million people under blizzard warnings.

Some parts of the region could see as much as two feet of snow.

New York is forecast to get 18 inches.

And the city's public schools are getting something that's become increasingly rare, a snow day.
