News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Monica Ricks. TSA agents are working without pay at U.S. airports again due to another government shutdown. This one affects the Department of Homeland Security, which includes TSA, as Congress works on a funding plan that could include ICE reforms. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

We need a code. of use of force. Every police department across the country has one. But you look at the videos here and you see them just beating the daylights out of people. It's just, it's not America.

Schumer on CNN's State of the Union. As for flights?

63.622 - 67.45 Eric Rosen

There aren't a ton of disruptions or cancellations. Most of those seem to be weather-related.

67.43 - 81.784 Monica Ricks

That's Eric Rosen. He's known as the points guy. Parts of the tri-state area could get a couple inches of snow later tonight into Monday. But overall, we may not see mass flight cancellations like the ones we saw last fall because air traffic controllers are still getting paid.

82.465 - 94.737 Monica Ricks

Back to ICE, White House Borders Art Tom Holman was also on CNN today and says he's pulling more than 1,000 agents from Minnesota right now after meeting with local and state officials about making its immigration operations safer.

94.717 - 114.143 Tom Holman

I got to give credit to the governor. We had good conversations. The state prisons are helping us. And Mayor Frey, me and Mayor Frey will never agree on much, but you know what? His officers did respond to take down the illegal roadblocks that made it unsafe for not only the citizens of Minnesota, but our officers. I think we're in a lot better spot than we ever have been.

114.123 - 119.452 Monica Ricks

He also says the government shutdown won't impact their operations, even though its agents aren't getting paid either.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of the government shutdown on TSA operations?

Meantime, a new report shows the Trump administration's policy of deporting migrants to third-party countries has come with a hefty price tag. Bloomberg's Nathan Hager reports from Washington.

130.39 - 152.77 Nathan Hager

The report comes from Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. It finds the administration spent more than $40 million to send roughly 300 migrants to countries they had no connection to. That's an average $133.3 thousand per deportee. The report says the bulk of the funds went directly to five foreign governments, Equatorial Guinea, Rwanda, El Salvador, Palau, and Eswatini.

It could be an uphill battle for Kevin Warsh, who's President Trump's pick to be the next Fed chair. Republican Senator Tom Tillis of North Carolina is now threatening to hold up his nomination process until the Justice Department resolves or rather drops its investigation on current Fed chair Jerome Powell.

177.117 - 189.373 Tom Tillis

I've tried to make it very clear that I have no intention of supporting any confirmation of any Fed board member, chair or otherwise, to fill the Kugler seat, for example, until this is resolved.

189.433 - 202.551 Monica Ricks

Tillis on CBS's Face the Nation. The DOJ indicted Powell last month over his testimony on renovations to Fed headquarters. But Tillis says the Fed should be protected from political interference and legal intimidation.

202.531 - 213.394 Monica Ricks

Secretary of State Marco Rubio just kicked off a two-day trip through Eastern Europe with plans to visit leaders in Slovakia and Hungary and continue his push for a return to stronger ties with allied countries.

213.675 - 219.527 Marco Rubio

There is no more important obligation of any government than the ability to protect your own people and your own nation.

219.507 - 238.056 Monica Ricks

Yesterday, Rubio addressed leaders at the Munich Security Conference and tried to ease anxiety over President Trump's trade wars and repeated threats to take over Greenland. US forces have hit more than 30 Islamic State targets in Syria over the last two weeks, extending the military response to a deadly attack on American troops.
