It's Tuesday, March 24th.
I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day,
the show that is gleefully reading about the expenses from the Buffalo-centric ads that outgoing Department
of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem filmed at Mount Rushmore.
According to a statement from Vermont Democratic Senator Peter Welch and Connecticut
Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, Noem's ad required $20,000 in horse rentals,
nearly $4,000 in hair and makeup, and most confusingly, $500 to a South Dakota magic store.
Yes, a magic store.
On today's show, President Donald Trump pulls back on his threats to escalate the war in Iran.
Shockingly, money may have been his motivating factor.
And the Supreme Court looks ready to limit mail-in voting.
Who needs the Save America Act when you have the highest court in your back pocket?
But let's start with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.
It 's been more than a month since the Department of Homeland Security shut down,
and American airports are definitely feeling it.
So in hopes of fixing yet another issue his administration created,
Trump has sent ICE agents to at least 14 airports across the country to do.
Something.
But what is not exactly clear.
You may have heard that the White House directed ICE to airports to help overburdened TSA agents.
