The Federal Aviation Administration halted flights into New York’s LaGuardia Airport because of a shortage of air-traffic control staff, escalating the pressure on President Donald Trump and lawmakers to end the government shutdown.

A lack of workers at an air-traffic control facility in the Washington area prompted the FAA to order a ground stop at LaGuardia, one of the nation’s busiest transportation hubs. Flights at other East Coast airports such as Washington’s Reagan National, Newark Liberty International and Philadelphia International were also delayed Friday.

Hold your ground Trumpers.  Remember drugs and illegals usually come in though legal points of entry.  They can't come in with flights shutdown.  Shutdown all the airports and reap the safety.  So much winning!

Fake news.  They halted some flights.   Not all flights.

For 35 days, no problems.  What's changed and who ordered it?

Well when Reagan fired the PATCO strikers he had ATF covered by military controllers, what would stop Trump from doing the same in this situation?
