The Federal Aviation Administration is closing the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas for 10 days, grounding all flights to and from the airport. A notice posted on the FAA’s website said the temporary flight restrictions were for “special security reasons,” but the notice did not provide additional details. The closure does not include Mexican airspace. The airport said in an Instagram post that all flights to and from the airport would be grounded from late Tuesday through late on Feb. 20, including commercial, cargo and general aviation flights. It suggests travelers contact their airlines to get up-to-date flight information.

Investigators say one immigration official abused his girlfriend for years. Another admitted he sexually abused a woman in his custody. A third is charged with taking bribes. A review by The Associated Press found at least two dozen U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees and contractors have been charged with crimes since 2020. The wrongdoing includes patterns of physical and sexual abuse and corruption. Most cases happened before Congress gave ICE $75 billion last year to hire more agents and detain more people, but experts say these kinds of crimes could accelerate. A spokesperson says ICE takes allegations of misconduct "extremely seriously" and thoroughly vets new applicants.

More than two dozen privacy groups are urging California Governor Gavin Newsom to remove covert license plate readers in southern California. The Associated Press has reported that such devices feed data into a U.S. Border Patrol intelligence program that scans roadways for suspicious travel patterns. The nonprofits Electronic Frontier Foundation, Imperial Valley Equity and Justice and other organizations sent a letter Tuesday asking for an investigation and removal of these devices. The AP's November report revealed that the Border Patrol hides these readers in traffic equipment. The program monitors millions of drivers to identify suspicious travel, raising privacy concerns. Critics argue this surveillance may violate the Fourth Amendment.

A trove of more than 200 letters from World War II that were found in a Tennessee home offers an intimate picture of love during wartime. Ray Whittaker attended school at the historically Black Meharry Medical College in Nashville. There he met and dated another student, Jane Dean. They lost contact for a time, but he wrote to her in 1942, stating that he was in the Army. Soon he was professing his love. A short four months later, they were married. The letters from their courtship and early marriage were donated to the Metro Nashville archive. Several are now on display digitally through the Nashville Public Library.

Attorney General Pam Bondi is set to face questions from lawmakers over the Justice Department’s handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein that have exposed sensitive private information about victims despite redaction efforts. Bondi is confronting a new wave of criticism stemming from the political saga that has dogged her term after the release of millions of additional Epstein disclosures that victims have slammed as sloppy and incomplete. It will be the first time the attorney general appears before Congress since a tumultuous hearing in October in which she repeatedly deflected questions and countered Democrats’ criticism of her actions with her own political attacks.

President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are expected to discuss new nuclear talks with Iran. The longtime Israeli leader is visiting the White House on Wednesday. It comes as both Tehran and Washington are projecting cautious optimism after holding indirect talks in Oman on Friday about how once again to approach negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. It remains unclear how much influence Netanyahu will have over Trump's approach toward Iran. Trump said Tuesday that he wants “no nuclear weapons, no missiles.” Netanyahu’s office has said he wants Iran talks to include limits on Iran’s ballistic missile program and support for militant groups like the Palestinian Hamas and Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

A group of Buddhist monks has finally reached Washington, D.C., after completing a 15-week trek from Texas that captivated the country. The monks say their aim is to promote mindfulness and inner peace. Their simple message has resonated in the U.S. as a welcome respite from conflict and political division. On Tuesday, nearly 3,500 people packed American University’s Bender Arena for the monks’ first public stop in the nation's capital. The spectators remained silent as the saffron-robed monks walked into the arena in a sign of respect for them and their quest for peace.

Justin Verlander is going back to his first big league team, agreeing to a $13 million, one-year contract with the Detroit Tigers.

A man convicted of killing a traveling salesman during a 1989 robbery has become the first person executed in Florida this year. Sixty-four-year-old Ronald Palmer Heath received a lethal injection Tuesday evening at Florida State Prison near Starke. Heath was convicted of first-degree murder and other charges in the shooting and stabbing of salesman Michael Sheridan in the Gainsville area. The lethal injection follows a record 19 executions in Florida last year. In 2025, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis oversaw more executions in a single year than any other Florida governor since the death penalty was reinstated in the U.S. in 1976.

Target CEO Michael Fiddelke is reshuffling his leadership team and making other changes shortly after stepping into the top job at the retailer that has struggled operationally. Rick Gomez, the 13-year Target veteran who oversees the chain’s vast inventory of merchandise, will leave the company. And Jill Sando, the chief merchandising officer overseeing a handful of categories like apparel and home and who has been with the company since 1997, will retire. Lisa Roath, who oversaw food, essentials and cosmetics, will take Fiddelke’s previous job as chief operating officer, the company said Tuesday. The changes will allow Target to move with greater speed, Fiddelke said.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is refusing to consider Moderna’s application for a new flu vaccine made with mRNA technology. The company announced the news on Tuesday. The FDA's decision reflects heightened scrutiny under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has criticized mRNA technology. Moderna received a “refusal-to-file” letter, objecting to its clinical trial methods. The FDA said the trial didn’t compare the new shot to the best available standard of care. Moderna has requested an urgent meeting with the FDA and noted it has applied for approval in Europe, Canada and Australia.

The heads of three Trump administration agencies have appeared before Congress to discuss immigration policies. The hearing follows the shooting deaths of two Americans in Minneapolis, which sparked outrage over the president's agenda. Todd Lyons of Immigration and Customs Enforcement faced sharp questioning about officers wearing masks during arrests. Democrats criticized the practice, while Lyons defended it for officer safety. The hearing Tuesday also addressed the looming shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, with Democrats threatening to block funding unless changes are made.

Three Idaho families are suing over an immigration raid at a horse racing track last year. They claim state and federal law enforcement used unconstitutional tactics, detaining people because they appeared to be Latino and keeping them in zip ties for hours. The raid involved 200 officers and targeted a family-friendly event popular with the Latino community. The October raid came as part of an FBI-led investigation into allegations of illegal gambling, but only five people at the event were arrested in connection with the gambling investigation. More than 100 others were arrested on suspicion of immigration violations. The families, all U.S. citizens or lawful residents, are seeking class-action status and damages.

Temperatures in northern Europe have been so low that Estonians can now drive across a 12 1/2-mile stretch of frozen sea. This “ice road” connects the islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa. It officially opened Sunday after locals began driving across the frozen sea, risking their safety. Ferries struggled to maintain service due to weeks of temperatures dropping to minus 10 degrees Celsius, or 14 Fahrenheit. The road is a marked corridor where specialists ensure the ice is thick enough for cars. Vehicles must follow strict rules to prevent damaging the ice. Authorities plan to open more ice routes this week.
