TSA agents are working without pay and airport delays are mounting as the DHS shutdown drags on, with Senate Democrats blocking debate on the SAVE America Act's proof-of-citizenship voting requirement that Republicans attached to the funding bill. Meanwhile, a new White House task force targeting fraud in food stamps and Medicaid could tighten eligibility rules for millions of low-income families, and the Supreme Court will decide by late April whether 350,000 Haitians lose their legal right to live and work in the U.S.
