Democrat Emily Gregory is expected to win a special state House election in a Florida district that includes President Donald Trump's home of Mar-a-Lago. Despite previously criticising mail-in voting, Trump cast a mail-out ballot in the state House special election. Markwayne Mullin has been sworn in as the next Department of Homeland Security secretary, facing a difficult task ahead of the president's controversial immigration enforcement effort and ongoing shutdown. The partial government shutdown is causing TSA callouts and shortages, and ICE agents have been deployed to cities across the country to handle the long lines and delays.
