President Trump plans to sign an emergency order to pay TSA agents as the Senate struggles to reach an agreement on Department of Homeland Security funding. The government shutdown has led to significant airport delays and rising absenteeism among TSA workers, with the Senate on the verge of spring break. Separately, this morning, closing arguments will be heard in the capital murder trial of Christopher Preciado in San Antonio; and an investigation is underway for a officer-involved shooting involving a Castle Hills Police detective.
