Memorial Day weekend will see record-breaking travel: AAA
(NewsNation) — Tens of millions of Americans are expected to take to the roads, skies and waterways for the busiest Memorial Day travel period ever, according to the American Automobile Association. AAA predicted more than 45 million people will travel at least 50 miles between Thursday, May 22, and Wednesday, May 28. Roughly 90% of holiday travelers are driving, AAA estimated. That could have something to do with gas prices, which are down to just $3.19 per gallon on average as of Friday morning, according to GasBuddy's live fuel insights tracker. That average is 40 cents cheaper than last year's. Can you decline to have your photo taken at a TSA checkpoint? With so many hitting the roads, authorities are urging travelers to stay sober, buckled and cautious. 'Anything could happen on the road. Something could run out on the road, there could be a tire, there could be debris,' Ohio State Highway Patrol Sgt. Brice Nihiser told NewsNation. 'Make sure that you're ready for that, make sure that you're ready to respond to whatever's in front of you.' Peak travel times will be between 4 and 7 p.m., so it's best to hit the road earlier to beat the traffic, per AAA. Talent agent and musician killed in San Diego plane crash A record 3.61 million people are planning to fly, marking a nearly 2% increase over last year, AAA predicts. The Transportation Security Administration said it is expecting to screen about 18 million passengers and crew members at airports nationwide over the extended holiday weekend. Memorial Day is the first major travel holiday under REAL ID protocol, which requires a specific type of ID for domestic flights. Travelers can still fly without a REAL ID so long as they have TSA-accepted forms of ID, like a passport — but it will likely add some time to security screenings. Traveling? You can still watch NewsNation Those without a REAL ID will likely be asked to complete a 'certification of identity' form. If TSA agents are able to confirm all the details provided, they will be allowed to proceed through the security checkpoint as normal. Some of the most popular flying destinations this year are Chicago, New York, Orlando, Denver and Seattle. One of the three major airports servicing the New York City area, Newark Liberty International Airport, has been the scene of a travel meltdown for weeks. An air traffic controller shortage, multiple tech outages and runway construction have led to proposed cuts in flights in and out of the New Jersey airport — and some travelers avoiding it altogether.

Noem ends Biden-era use of controversial app to allow migrants to board flights, except to self-deport
EXCLUSIVE: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is ending the use of the controversial CBP One app to allow migrants to board domestic flights – unless it is being used for their self-deportation. "Secretary Noem is reversing the horrendous Biden-Era policy that allowed aliens in our country illegally to jet around our country and do so without identification," a DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "Under President Trump, TSA and DHS will no longer tolerate this. Aliens in our country illegally can no longer fly unless it is out of our country to self-deport," they said. 'He Is Delivering': Trump's First Month Flips Script On Radical Biden-harris Border Policies The Biden administration had expanded the use of the CBP One app to allow migrants to enter the U.S. at ports of entry or via a separate parole process. That process involved them uploading information including a photograph. The Biden administration also allowed for the app to be used by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to verify a migrant without sufficient ID by comparing a photograph of a migrant in DHS records, and also use biometric matching. Those verified would also receive additional physical screening. Trump Freezes Applications For Biden-era Migrant Programs Amid Fraud, National Security Concerns Read On The Fox News App While migrants being allowed to board flights without ID predates the Biden administration, the use of the CBP One app has since become a method for identity matching of migrants without acceptable forms of ID. The new policy change ends the use of CBP One at screening checkpoints and TSA's National Transportation Vetting Center, and also bars air travel for migrants who were paroled or released into the U.S. pending their immigration processing, who do not present a TSA-accepted form of ID, and who are not self-deporting. It marks the latest crackdown on illegal immigration and also those who have been paroled into the U.S. using the CBP One app. President Donald Trump ordered an end to the use of the CBP One app to parole migrants into the U.S. on his first day in office. His administration has also paused applications for parole programs, and allowed ICE to cancel parole statuses of migrants.
