the traveling public following Sunday night's crash in New York's LaGuardia airport.

As we continue to learn information, we will share it with you and in the meantime, let

us keep those who died in our thoughts and continue to hope for a quick recovery for those who were injured. The crash between an air Canada jet and a fire truck that had been given the green light to cross a runway killed two pilots, and since scores to the hospital, the accident has revived concerns over air traffic control staffing, but in T.S. Beach, here at Jennifer

Hammondey told reporters that it's too soon to discuss that. Onward's federal immigration agents began turning up at Major U.S. airport's Monday President Trump ordered the deployment to help support T.S.A. agents who are not getting pay because the Department of Homeland Security is largely shut down in Piers' Luke Airport reports.

White House borders our Tom Homan is in charge of the operation.

He tells CNN, "Isaagents will likely guard airport entries and exits.

And he thinks ICE will leave the security line to transportation security administration

workers. The union that represents T.S.A. officers blasted the ICE deployment. Here's Union Policy Director, Jacqueline Simon. It will be easier for somebody with Maldani tent to get through a security checkpoint with an untrained ICE agent there instead of a trained transportation security officer.

Simon said ICE agents will continue their immigration enforcement mission while at airports, but in a statement Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said ICE agents will take orders from T.S.A. and the federal agents at Atlanta's airport are "not intended to conduct immigration enforcement activities." Luke Garrett and P.R. News, Washington.

"There could be a potential breakthrough in the fight over DHS funding.

A group of Senate Republicans met with President Trump late Monday and are reported to be

working through the night on a possible deal to be presented later today."

Lebanese state media say Israel's military struck another bridge in southern Lebanon Monday. Israel has been targeting Iranian-backed Hezbollah militants to stop them from launching missiles into northern Israel and P.R. Security Con reports. Israel's military says targeting bridges is vital to stopping Hezbollah from transferring

its weapon south. The dozens of missiles a day are fired into northern Israeli towns. On going Israeli air strikes have displaced more than 1.2 million people according to Lebanese officials, Ali Al-Hek is sheltering in a tent with his parents and force siblings in a Beirut stadium housing thousands.

"There's strike warnings come so strong you couldn't run from them. There was no escape he says." Lebanon's president fears the new wave of infrastructure attacks is "a prelude to a ground invasion. Israel's military chief says its fight against Hezbollah has "only just begun."

Kerry Con and P.R. News, Tel Aviv. "And you're listening to MPR news." The Supreme Court's conservative majority appears skeptical of state laws that allow the counting of late arriving male ballots. The Court heard arguments Monday and a case from Mississippi that could also affect voters in 13 other states and the District of Columbia.

For giving deadlines from military and overseas votes in an additional 15 states could also be impacted to ruling, expected by late June. President Trump celebrated his administration's efforts to curb crime at an event today in Memphis, Tennessee last year. The Trump administration sent national guard troops into several blue cities, including Memphis, typically something that would happen only at a governor's

request. Yours appears to be a shiver on. Some city residents join members of the administration on stage in Memphis to a lot of the president for his efforts to cut crime rates. Trump himself declared crime in the city "fixed." But for years prior to our involvement, Memphis had become known for something else, being

the murder capital of the USA, then not a good title. It was averaging far more than one murder per day with a crime rate higher than Columbia, Mexico City, or Baghdad. In the year, I shouldn't be saying this, but here's a good news. It's been fixed." The city has seen a decline in violent crime. The issue will likely be a major focus for Republicans in the midterm elections. Deepish of our arm and PR news, the White House.
