Live updates: DHS funding deal shows promise as TSA turmoil puts pressure on Trump, Congress

President Trump is set to swear in his new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary, Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), on Tuesday, as a deal to fund the department is taking shape.

Worsening airport security lines and flight delays have turned up the pressure on Capitol Hill to end the partial government shutdown. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents reported to over a dozen airports Monday to assist with security.

The situation was put in the spotlight Monday when an investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board was stuck in a Transportation Security Administration line for hours as he tried to get to LaGuardia Airport in New York to investigate Sunday’s fatal crash.

Both the House and Senate are back in session Tuesday, and the potential DHS funding compromise will be center stage. It is an about-face for Trump, who has said he would not make a deal with Democrats unless they moved separate voting legislation known as the SAVE America Act.

There are a handful of special elections in Florida Tuesday evening, including a state House seat where Trump’s Mar-a-Lago is located. Here’s what to know about the three races.

First lady Melania Trump will attend a two-day technology summit at the State Department, giving remarks at 10 a.m.
