White House Says Shutdown Could Lead to Holiday Travel Meltdown; Illegal Immigrant Charged in Deadly California Crash

The holiday season is approaching, and the gridlock on Capitol Hill could affect people’s travel plans. The Trump administration and Republican leaders in Congress warned on Thursday that flight disruptions would increase as the government shutdown enters its fourth week. At present, approximately 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 TSA officers are working without pay. The controllers’ first missed paycheck will come due on Oct. 28, which is expected to cause more absences among workers. An illegal immigrant truck driver from India is accused of causing a fiery crash that killed three people in Southern California. Federal officials now say the driver involved should not have had a commercial license.
