According to a report by The New York Times, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have reportedly been informed that the FBI will no longer investigate claims of assault against federal officers. This purported shift in oversight, if true, would likely result in Homeland Security Investigations, an arm of ICE, handling these investigations internally.

Donald Trump’s rebranding of Palm Beach International Airport to President Donald J Trump International Airport is facing significant funding challenges. While highway signs and digital displays have been updated, many internal signs still bear the old name, and the full transition to the new airport code DJT is contingent on securing the remaining $2.75 million needed for comprehensive signage replacement. Palm Beach County officials are refusing to use taxpayer money to cover the state-mandated project’s shortfall, insisting the state should be responsible for the full cost. This dispute has led to a phased approach for the rebranding, with concerns raised about potential diversions of funds from other airport improvements to cover the costs.
