From New York to Phoenix, at least fourteen major airports across the country will see ICE agents deployed today, according to White House border Czar Tom Homan. The immigration agents are being sent to bolster TSA staffing amid an ongoing partial federal government shutdown. In many places, that has led to security checkpoint lines that stretch for blocks and have travelers waiting hours to get to their flights. But it’s been a different picture at SEA Airport, at least for now. Guest: Port

It’s only been a few months since historic flooding devastated parts of Western Washington, where affected homeowners are still recovering. Many renters also suffered losses from the floods. And unlike homeowners, they may have had little idea they were at risk. In Washington, home sellers are required to tell potential buyers if their properties are located on a flood plain. But landlords don’t have to do the same for renters. A bill recently passed by state lawmakers could change that,
