News: #US judge blocks termination of legal protections for #Ethiopians under Temporary Protected Status A U.S. federal judge has halted an effort by the administration of Donald #Trump to end temporary legal protections for more than 5,000 Ethiopians living in the United States, according to a report by Reuters. In a ruling issued on April 8 in Boston, Brian Murphy blocked the Department of Homeland Security (#DHS) from terminating Temporary Protected Status (#TPS) for Ethiopians, marking a setback for the administration’s broader push to scale back such protections. TPS is granted under U.S. law to nationals of countries experiencing armed conflict, natural disasters, or other extraordinary conditions, allowing eligible individuals to live and work in the United States without fear of deportation. According to Reuters, Judge Murphy concluded that DHS had disregarded statutory procedures set by Congress and offered a “pretextual” justification for ending Read more: https://addisstandard.com/?p=56440

📰 Trump Turns a DHS Shutdown Into Another Unilateral Power Play Trump has managed to turn unpaid TSA officers and airport chaos into yet another leverage move — and a test of how far he can stretch executive power. For weeks, DHS has been operating without full funding, TSA staff have been working without pay, hundreds of officers have already quit, and security lines at airports have exploded into record delays. Democrats say they are willing to fund the department but insist on new limits for ICE; Trump rejected a compromise and publicly tied any deal to his hard-line Save America Act voting bill, which Democrats unanimously oppose. As a show of force, he ordered ICE agents into airports to “help” manage lines, a deployment that has done little to address the underlying bottlenecks but has reinforced the sense that this is a fight over immigration and partisan resolve. According to reporting, the White House is exploring a plan to pay TSA officers unilaterally if Congress does not move, using an emergency-style workaround to bypass the normal budget process while branding the standoff as a “Democrat shutdown crisis.” If the White House follows through, the play is simple: Trump turns pay back on for a high-visibility workforce, claims credit for “saving” travelers, and leaves Democrats to either swallow his demands or be cast as the only thing standing between the public and normal airport security — another step toward treating the federal government as a control panel the president alone gets to flip. #trump#tsa#shutdown#dhs#usa#congress#saveAmericaAct 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

📰 US Government Agencies Shut Down as Trump Deal Awaits House Vote The U.S. government has slipped into a partial shutdown, with several major departments, including Defense, Treasury and Homeland Security, formally shutting down as Congress waits for the House to act on a funding deal negotiated by President Donald Trump and Senate Democrats. The House is on recess and is not expected to vote on the deal until Monday, trapping the government in a technical shutdown that began at midnight Friday. The crisis stems from a Democratic revolt over the deaths of two U.S. citizens in confrontations with Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis. Senate Democrats refused to pass a sprawling funding bill unless it included new constraints on immigration enforcement, including body cameras, judicial warrants, unmasking of agents, and a ban on mass sweeps. Trump and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer then struck a deal to fund the rest of the government through September, while giving Homeland Security only two weeks of temporary funding to keep talks on reforms going. The Senate passed that compromise on Friday, but the House cannot vote until it returns Monday, leaving dozens of agencies furloughing non‑essential staff and halting non‑critical services. Who’s shut, who’s working Affected agencies are furloughing non‑essential staff and halting non‑critical services, while “excepted” employees (military, air traffic controllers, TSA, border and immigration enforcement, most cops, the president, Supreme Court, and most federal judges) keep working, though they may not get paid until funding is restored. Key agencies that are already fully funded for the year and are not affected include the Department of Agriculture (SNAP/food stamps), Veterans Affairs, the Justice Department, and National Parks, which means benefits and many court and park services continue without interruption. The Office of Management and Budget (Brooke Rollins’s shop) issued a memo telling agencies to execute shutdown procedures, but it stressed that the Administration hopes “this lapse will be short” and will be ready to restart operations as soon as Trump signs a bill into law. How long it will last The Administration and many lawmakers expect the shutdown to last no more than a few days, ending as soon as the House votes on Monday. If the House passes the deal early Monday, federal agencies could resume normal operations that same day, limiting the visible disruption to the public and the economy. But the real drama is in the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson must navigate a narrow Republican majority and a rebellious conservative flank resistant to the short‑term DHS funding, while Democrats demand that the eventual long‑term deal change the rules for immigration enforcement. On the surface, the shutdown is a narrow procedural gap, but politically it’s a classic Washington theater (kabuki): Democrats weaponizing DHS funding to force changes in how Trump’s immigration crackdown is run, while Republicans warn that more shutdowns lie ahead if Democrats try this again. Behind the noise, the question is simple: who blinks first, and who gets blamed if the lights truly go out at the IRS, VA, TSA, and courts beyond the weekend? #USGovernmentShutdown#Trump2026#Congress#Democrats#Republicans#DHS#Budget2026 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

Trump Turns Airport Chaos Into a Deportation Stage Trump is now officially turning TSA’s funding crisis into live theater: he says ICE agents will start deploying to airports on Monday, not because they’re trained to run X-ray machines, but because Democrats won’t sign his Homeland Security deal on immigration enforcement. ICE, he says, will “help our wonderful TSA Agents” and “do Security like no one has ever seen before,” including arrests of “all Illegal Immigrants … with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia.” In other words, your stalled spring break line is leverage — and a backdrop. Even his own former officials say the plan makes no operational sense. The bottlenecks are at X-ray belts, baggage screening and ID checks — jobs that require specialized training — while the administration admits ICE will mostly guard doors and glance at IDs. The point isn’t efficiency; it’s optics and pressure. Democrats are trying to pay TSA separately while forcing basic constraints on ICE raids after federal agents killed two protesters in Minneapolis. Republicans stapled TSA paychecks to full ICE and CBP funding with minimal new rules — and now the White House is dangling “untrained ICE at your gate” as the price of saying no. So the picture at the terminal is simple: TSA officers working without pay for more than a month, walking off the job in growing numbers, security lines stretching for hours — and a president who would rather drop deportation cops into that mess than tell his own party to pass a clean bill to pay them. If you’re flying tomorrow, the message from Washington is clear: welcome to security theater, season two — this time, the show is about scaring Congress, and you’re the unpaid extra. #Trump#ICE#TSA#shutdown#airports#immigration#DHS#USA#securityTheater 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

Trump Turns TSA Meltdown Into an ICE Photo Op Trump just found a way to turn a payless TSA crisis into a campaign stunt: threaten to flood airport checkpoints with ICE agents unless Democrats sign his Homeland Security funding deal. Spring break traffic is colliding with a month-long DHS shutdown that’s forced 50,000 TSA officers to work without pay, driven resignations and sick-outs, and already closed lanes at major hubs — and his answer isn’t “pay them,” it’s “bring in deportation cops with a special focus on Somalis.” Democrats are trying to fund TSA separately and tie new money for ICE and CBP to basic guardrails — warrants before home raids, no masks, cameras on, no grabbing people in hospitals and schools — after federal agents killed protesters in Minneapolis. Republicans have stapled TSA paychecks to full ICE funding without reforms, then act shocked when queues hit three hours. Trump’s “solution” is to use that pain as leverage: either fund the enforcement machine on his terms, or watch it move from the border into the departure hall. Former ICE officials are blunt: this kind of dragnet at airports would mostly scoop up long‑time residents with no criminal record, because that’s who actually flies, while doing almost nothing for real security. But that’s the point. The message isn’t “we’ll keep you safe,” it’s “we’ll turn your delayed vacation into a live deportation show unless Democrats cave.” For travelers stuck in unpaid-screeners’ lines, the new choice is charming: miss your flight — or clear security and risk having an ICE agent decide you’re the next headline. #Trump#ICE#TSA#shutdown#airports#immigration#DHS#USA#securityTheater 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
