The executive branch is allowed to move money appropriated by Congress from one agency to another within a department, and this Trump administration would not be the first to do so in order to make up for an ICE budget shortfall.

The average cost to ICE to deport a single person during the Biden administration was about $10,500, sources told NBC News.

While there were fewer guns discovered by TSA agents in 2024 at Missouri airports, the number still was in the triple digits.

The TSA levied nearly $23 million in civil penalties against travelers caught with guns at security checkpoints—a new record and a 10% jump from the previous year.

The rate of firearms discovered per screened passenger in Kentucky was "significantly higher" than the nationwide rate, TSA said in a release.
