• The leader of an Air Marshals association condemned the Biden administration Monday for deploying them to the U.S.-Mexico border, arguing that the mission is compromising air travel security.

• “We have been decimated. We have been depleted. We’re on less than 1% of flights. These ground-based duties that they’re pulling us out of the sky to go to the border are just demolishing our chances at stopping another 9/11,” Labosco said.
