ICE at Airports, School Shooting Convictions, and Ruling Against Meta
The Bulletin
Why airport lines are worsening
Harvest Prude explains DHS funding lapse, TSA staffing issues, and how those cause long airport wait times.
This week, President Trump posted on Truth Social that more ICE agents will be present at airports to address the long waits caused by the Department of Homeland Security partial shutdown. Elizabeth Neumann and Harvest Prude join us to discuss this and the ramifications of the shutdown. Then, a Georgia jury convicts a parent whose son murdered multiple people in a school shooting of second degree murder. Shooting survivor Taylor Schumann and breaking news reporter Jack Panyard help us understand these new prosecution strategies. Finally, a Los Angeles court ruled that Facebook, Instagram and YouTube are knowingly creating products that cause addiction and harm to children. Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen and parent technology coach Krista Boen join to share about these technologies and the implications for families.
