This morning, another 90-second outage took out radar and communications for air traffic controllers. It's the second breakdown there in two weeks. Yesterday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy outlined a plan to overhaul the system.

He said it could be completed in three or four years, but would require billions of dollars in funding from Congress. In unrelated news out of Newark, the city's mayor was arrested today.

Ross Baraka was accused of trespassing during a protest at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center. The interim U.S.

A Vermont judge has ordered the Trump administration to release Turkish Tufts University graduate student Rumesa Ozturk.

She is at least the second student freed from custody under the Trump administration. Former Supreme Court Justice David Souter has died at 85. He served on the court from 1990 until his retirement in 2009. Souter was nominated by Republican President George H.W. Bush, but he did not tilt the court to the right.
