Appropriations for the 9/11-era Cabinet agency lapsed after Friday, Feb. 13, as negotiations continued between congressional Democrats and the White House over curbing immigration enforcement. No deal was in sight as lawmakers left for a week-long scheduled recess, with many taking planned trips overseas.

After the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good by federal immigration agents (ICE), communities across the U.S. are protesting against Trump's surge of immigration enforcement actions.

Protests were held across the United States in response to ICE enforcement activity.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D–New York, pledged earlier this week that Democrats wouldn't back funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) without added guardrails for federal immigration agents.

"The Republican bill on the floor allows ICE to smash in doors without warrants, to wear masks and not be identified, to use children as bait for their parents," Schumer said in avideo statement posted on social mediaFeb. 12. "No oversight? We are keeping our word. No funding for ICE until it is reined in, until the violence ends."

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R–South Dakota,said on Fox NewsFeb. 12 that he hopes Democrats strike a funding deal with the White House over the weekend

"This isn't just ICE. This isn't just, you know, Border Patrol. This is FEMA. This is TSA. This is the Coast Guard. This is cyber security. A bunch of things covered by this bill," Thune said.

Much of DHS's typical work,including Immigration and Customs Enforcement's operations, will continue even while the agency is shut down. Regardless, the heads of some of the department's most critical divisions warned lawmakers ahead of the latest funding lapse that the consequences of a prolonged shutdown could be dire.

DHS hasn't publicly released an updated contingency plan for this shutdown, but ittypically requiresthe vast majority of TSA's more than 64,000-person workforce to stay on the job without pay.

Acting TSA Administrator Ha Nguyen McNeill told lawmakers Feb. 11 that the roughly 61,000 employees at more than 430 commercial airports who will be impacted by another funding lapse can't go through it all over again.

"Some are just recovering from the financial impact of the 43-day shutdown," she said. "We cannot put them through another such experience. It would be unconscionable."

Usually, as shutdowns drag on, callout rates for TSA workers spike, leading to longer wait times in security lines at the airport.

Coast Guard

The Coast Guard, which falls under DHS purview during peacetime, will have to suspend missions that aren't critical for national security and the protection of life and property.

"Shutdowns cripple morale," said Vice Adm. Thomas Allan, the Coast Guard's acting vice commandant, at a Feb. 11 congressional hearing.

Allan told lawmakers the shutdown would cause deferred maintenance and potentially interrupt pay for 56,000 active-duty reserve and civilian personnel.

FEMA

Most employees of the Federal Emergency Management Agency will also work without pay. Gregg Phillips, who leads FEMA, said on Feb. 11 the shutdown would "severely disrupt" the agency's ability to reimburse states for disaster relief costs.

He expressed concern about the approaching hurricane season.

"A federal government shutdown would have far-reaching and serious consequences for FEMA's operations and for the nation's ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters," he told lawmakers.

Thorbjørn Jagland, who headed the Norwegian Nobel Committee from 2009 to 2015, turns up hundreds of times in the millions ofdocuments about the former U.S. financierand convicted sex offender that were released by the U.S. Justice Department last month.

Since the release, Jagland, 75, has been charged in Norway for "aggravated corruption" in connection with an investigation prompted by information in the files, the economic crime unit of Norwegian police Økokrim said.

Økokrim has said it would investigate whether gifts, travel and loans were received in connection with Jagland's position. Its teams searched his Oslo residence on Thursday, plus two other properties in Risør, a coastal town to the south, and in Rauland to the west.

His attorneys at Elden law firm in Norway said Jagland denies the charges, and was questioned by the police unit on Thursday.

While there is no evidence in the documents seen so far of any outright lobbying for the Nobel Peace Prize, Epstein repeatedly played up hosting Jagland at his properties in New York and Paris in the 2010s.

From an 'interesting' guest to subject of banter with Bannon

In September 2018, during Trump's first term and in an apparent allusion to his interest in the peace prize, Epstein had a varied text-message exchange with Bannon, at one point writing — in one of many messages with untidy grammar: "donalds head would explode if he knew you were now buds with the guy who on monday will decide the nobel peace prize."

"I told him next year it should be you when we settle china," he added, without elaborating.

In one email from 2013, mixing in investment tips and praise for PR tips, Epstein told British entrepreneur and magnate Richard Branson that Jagland would be staying with Epstein in September that year, adding: "if you are there, you might find him interesting."

A year after she left a job as White House counsel to President Barack Obama, in 2015,Kathy Ruemmlergot an email from Epstein saying: "head of nobel peace prize coming to visit, want to join?"

In 2012, Epstein wrote former Treasury Secretary and Harvard University president Larry Summers about Jagland, saying "head of the nobel peace prize staying with me, if you have any interest."

In that exchange, Epstein referred to Jagland — also a former Norwegian prime minister and former head of the Council of Europe, a human rights body — as "not bright" but someone who offered a "unique perspective."

The financier wrote Bill Gates in 2014, saying that Jagland had been reelected as head of the Council of Europe.

"That is good," theMicrosoftco-founder and the world's former richest man, wrote. "I guess his peace prize committee job is also up in the air?"

During Jagland's tenure as chair of the committee, it gave the peace prize to Obama, in 2009, and the European Union in 2012.

Jagland was brought into Epstein's orbit by Terje Rød Larsen, a Norwegian diplomat who helped broker the Oslo Peace Accords between Israel and Palestinians. Larsen and wife are also facing corruption charges in Norway due to their association with Epstein.

The AP is reviewing the documents released by the Justice Department in collaboration with journalists from CBS, NBC, MS NOW and CNBC.

• The FDA upgraded a nationwide cake mix recall to Class I due to undeclared milk allergens.

• The recall affects large commercial Spice Cake and Swiss Chocolate Cake mixes.

• Businesses are urged to stop using the products due to serious allergy risks.

If you've got a baking project on the calendar, you might want to double-check what mix you're using first. Anationwide recallinvolving commercial cake mixes has just been upgraded to the FDA's most serious classification, meaning there's a real risk for people with certain food allergies.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has elevated a recall involving Dallas-based B.C. Williams Bakery Service to aClass I recall, its highest warning level. That classification signals there's a reasonable chance that consuming the product could cause serious health consequences or even death.

The issue traces back to undeclared milk found in certain cake mixes, meaning milk wasn't listed on the label despite being present. While milk might seem harmless to most shoppers, it can trigger severe or life-threatening reactions in people with dairy allergies, especially children and those with diagnosed sensitivities.

The recall originally began in late December but was recently escalated after further review. The affected products were distributed nationwide, though exact retail or foodservice destinations haven't been fully clarified. Because these mixes are sold in large 50-pound bags, they're more commonly used by bakeries, restaurants, and large-scale food operations than by home bakers.

The products included in the recall areSpice Cake MixandSwiss Chocolate Cake Mix,both in 50-pound bags. The specific lot numbers can be foundhere.

Businesses or distributors in possession of the affected mixes are being urged not to use them and to dispose of the products or return them to their supplier. For consumers, the biggest concern is indirect exposure. If you or someone in your householdhas a milk allergyand you've recently bought baked goods from local bakeries or foodservice locations, it may be worth asking about ingredient sourcing until the recall is fully resolved.

No illnesses have been officially confirmed at this time, but a Class I designation shows the FDA isn't taking chances.

Her primarily millennial fans are rabid to see her in concert. Her first album in more than a decade, "Luck … or Something,"releases Feb. 20. And after this weekend of sold-out shows at Voltaire at The Venetian and areturn May 22-24,Duff will hit amphitheaters and arenas in June for The Lucky Me Tour,her first world outingin nearly 20 years.

Duff's performance Friday, Feb. 13 at the 1,000-capacity opulent venue-lounge was part of her Small Rooms, Big Nerves Tour, which hit four major cities, including London and New York, before landing for this trio of shows in Vegas.

Even with an extensive acting background, the nerves mentioned in her tour name are understandable. It's one thing to be revered as an early aughts Disney Channel breakout on "Lizzy McGuire" and continue a notable acting career with star turns in"Younger"and "How I Met Your Father."

It's an entirely different set of neurons to command a stage with assurance and scamper down a catwalk, interact with fans a few inches away and remind people that you can sing.
