Delta is fully supporting retrieval efforts and will cooperate with investigations as nothing is more important than safety," a Delta spokesperson said.The part separated from the Boeing plane operating as Flight 3247 before it landed at 1:15 a.m. local time on July 2.AMERICAN AIRLINES PLANE HIT WITH 'UNEXPECTED TURBULENCE,' 5 HOSPITALIZEDThe flight had both departure and en-route delays due to thunderstorm activity, Delta said. It left Atlanta 10 minutes late, at 11:06 p.m. on Tuesday.The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed to Fox News Digital that it is investigating what happened.UNITED AIRLINES PLANES IN SAN FRANCISCO CLIP WINGSRaleigh police told local TV station WRAL that no injuries or property damage were reported as a result of the incident."It's amazing when you consider it's such a dense neighborhood and people are out all the time," Susan Reed, who works near the location where the part crashed down, told WRAL. "We really dodged a bullet on this one. Let's just hope it doesn't happen again."

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., was mocked by conservatives online after posting a picture holding a baseball bat and promising to push back against President Donald Trumps "big, beautiful bill.""House Democrats will keep the pressure on Trumps One Big Ugly Bill," Jeffries posted on Instagram on Wednesday, along with a photo of himself holding a Louisville Slugger and standing in his office.The post was widely criticized by conservatives."Low energy," Rep.

The Supreme Court decided Thursday to review state bans on transgender athletes participating in public school sports.Oral arguments will likely be heard later this fall regarding two cases in Idaho and West Virginia. Both cases are focused on state laws that prevent biological males from competing on girls sports teams."Its a great day, as female athletes in West Virginia will have their voices heard," West Virginia Attorney General John McCuskey said in a statement. "The people of West Virginia know that its unfair to let male athletes compete against women; thats why we passed this commonsense law preserving women's sports for women.""We are confident the Supreme Court will uphold the Save Women's Sports Act because it complies with the U.S. Constitution and complies with Title IX," McCuskey said. "And most importantly: it protects women and girls by ensuring the playing field is safe and fair."This is a breaking news story. Check back for updates.

At this point, most Americans are aware that their personal information is often up for sale. But few would have expected their domestic flight records to be part of the trade.You might think that when you book a flight, the data stays between you, the airline and perhaps your travel agency, but a new report suggests otherwise. Internal documents reveal that major U.S. airlines have been funneling detailed passenger data to a little-known broker, which then sells that information directly to the Department of Homeland Security.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, youll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide free when you join myCYBERGUY.COM/NEWSLETTER16 BILLION PASSWORDS LEAKED IN MASSIVE DATA BREACHAt the center of the controversy is the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC), a company jointly owned by several of the largest U.S. airlines, including Delta, American Airlines and United. ARCs core business includes managing ticket settlements between airlines and travel agencies. However, under a lesser-known initiative called the Travel Intelligence Program (TIP), ARC collects and monetizes vast amounts of data from domestic flight bookings. This includes names, complete itineraries and payment details.Internal government records and procurement documents reveal that Customs and Border Protection (CBP), part of the Department of Homeland Security, has purchased access to ARC's TIP data to track individuals of interest across the U.S. While CBP maintains that this data supports criminal and administrative investigations, critics argue that the arrangement raises major privacy concerns.The data is shared without travelers' knowledge or consent, and ARC reportedly requested that the agency keep its identity confidential unless legally required to disclose it.The documents confirm that CBPs initial contract with ARC began in June 2024. It has already been extended and may continue through 2029. Although the initial amounts seem modest, around $11,000 with a recent $6,800 update, the implications are far-reaching.ARCs Travel Intelligence Program goes far beyond basic passenger manifests. It includes over a billion records spanning both past and future travel, updated daily. The system can be queried by name, credit card or even travel agency. Importantly, it does not include data from tickets purchased directly through airline websites, focusing instead on bookings made via travel agencies, such as Expedia.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREThe DHS has justified its use of TIP data in a public Privacy Impact Assessment, noting the program helps in active investigations. CBP echoed this, stating that data is only used when a case is already open. Still, this sets a dangerous precedent. It normalizes mass surveillance through third-party data purchases, undermining safeguards designed to limit unnecessary intrusion.This isnt an isolated incident. Last month, Immigration and Customs Enforcement also acknowledged purchasing ARC data. Other federal agencies listed in procurement records include the Secret Service, SEC, DEA, TSA and even the Air Force.If you want to take back control of your personal information, here are six smart steps you can take right now to reduce your exposure to data brokers.1. Book flights directly on airline websites:Whenever you can, avoid using third-party travel sites like Expedia, Orbitz or travel agencies. These platforms are the main sources of the data collected by the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) through its Travel Intelligence Program. When you book directly on an airlines official website or mobile app, your data is far less likely to be shared with ARC or sold to government agencies. While it might be tempting to look for deals on aggregator sites, once you find a fare you like, try to book it directly through the airline.2. Use virtual or disposable credit cards:The ARC system allows queries by credit card number, which means your travel activity can be tracked even if your name is not directly searched. To protect yourself, consider using a virtual credit card or a disposable card number for flight bookings. These are often available through banking apps or fintech services like Revolut, Privacy.com or certain American Express accounts. Virtual cards are tied to your main account but generate a temporary number that can only be used once or at a specific merchant. This makes it much harder for brokers to link future bookings to you.3. Share the bare minimum when booking:Be cautious about the personal information you enter during the booking process. Unless it is legally required, avoid adding unnecessary details like your frequent flyer number, passport data for domestic flights or secondary phone numbers. You can also create a separate email address specifically for travel bookings to reduce the risk of cross-linking data with your other online accounts. When it comes to loyalty programs, consider opting out or using a separate identity if you are concerned about data being shared across companies.4. Remove your data from the internet:The most effective way to take control of your data and avoid data brokers from selling it is to opt for data removal services. While no service promises to remove all your data from the internet, having a removal service is great if you want to constantly monitor and automate the process of removing your information from hundreds of sites continuously over a longer period of time. Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visitingCyberguy.com/Delete5. Use a privacy-focused browser and email service: Prevent tracking at the source by using privacy-first tools. Switch to browsers like Brave, Firefox or DuckDuckGo, which block ads and data collectors by default. Set up a separate, secure alias email address for booking travel using services. This limits how easily brokers can link your travel data to your online identity. See my review of the best secure and private email services byvisitingCyberguy.com/Mail6. Use an identity theft protection service:If your travel or payment data is ever leaked or abused, freezing your credit can help prevent identity theft. Identity theft companies can assist you in freezing your bank and credit card accounts to prevent further unauthorized use by criminals. They can also monitor personal information like your Social Security number, phone number and email address and alert you if it is being sold on the dark web or being used to open an account.One of the best parts of my No. 1 pick is that is it has identity theft insurance ofup to $1 million to cover losses and legal fees and a white glove fraud resolution team where aU.S.-based case manager helps you recover any losses. See my tips and best picks on how to protect yourself from identity theft by visitingCyberguy.com/IdentityTheftThe ARC incident is yet another example of federal agencies bypassing traditional legal channels by buying sensitive data from private firms. Travelers are not just passengers, they are data points in a growing ecosystem where information is currency. The fact that this trade happened without informed consent and behind legal smokescreens should worry anyone who values privacy.Would you change how you book flights if it meant protecting your personal data?

FIRST ON FOX: Courts have repeatedly stymied President Donald Trump's efforts to quickly remove noncitizens living illegally in the country, but a conservative think tank is warning that the judiciary branch could, at times, be overstepping.The Heritage Foundation's Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at the organization and a former Department of Justice official, detailed in a new memorandum how noncitizens' due process rights are minimal when they are facing deportation."As provided by Congress and by some court decisions interpreting the Constitution, aliens have only limited due process rights in immigration proceedings," von Spakovsky wrote in the document, reviewed by Fox News Digital in advance of its publishing.The document makes clear that noncitizens, including illegal immigrants, have the same rights as citizens when it comes to criminal proceedings. If a noncitizen has been charged with a crime, that person is entitled to a lawyer, just like a citizen would be, for example.SEN CHRIS COONS: YOU MIGHT GET DEPORTED IF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SUSPENDS DUE PROCESSOutside of that, the legal processes for noncitizens facing deportation vary widely depending on their circumstances. These cases are often handled in immigration courts rather than federal courts.Heritages document suggests how due process, a contentious topic at the heart of many of the Trump administrations immigration-related court cases, should apply to noncitizens in various scenarios."Those rights differ depending on the status of the aliens and whether they are outside the United States and trying to enter this country or are already in the country, either legally or illegally, as well as their visa or other status," von Spakovsky wrote.Immigration law allows for near-immediate deportations in cases when a migrant has crossed into the country illegally but is apprehended within two years."That alien can be removed without a hearing or any other proceeding," von Spakovsky said. However, he added a caveat that has become a major source of frustration among border control advocates: "unless the alien requests asylum or asserts a credible fear of persecution if returned to his or her native country."If an immigrant requests asylum, a form of protection for a person who fears they will be persecuted if sent back to their home country, an immigration officer, immigration judge, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and even the federal circuits and Supreme Court could all end up having a say in that immigrant's case before their asylum claim is fully vetted.Critics of the asylum system say it has been roundly abused and that migrants making bogus asylum claims is common practice and allows migrants to be released into the country, and they drop off the governments radar.That concern came to a head on Wednesday, when a federal judge in Washington, D.C., issued a 124-page order blocking the administration from severely limiting asylum claims. The judge said Trump attempted a "wholesale rewriting" of immigration laws. Attorney General Pam Bondi has signaled an appeal is imminent.TRUMP CLAPS BACK AT COURTS FOR 'INTERFERING' WITH JOB, ASKS 'HOW YOU CAN GIVE DUE PROCESS' TO ILLEGAL MIGRANTSThe Heritage Foundation has been a presence in Republican politics for decades and has significant influence over government policy. The organization spearheaded Project 2025, a controversial playbook designed for Trump to use as a blueprint for his second term.Heritage's new memorandum comes as due process has become the bane of the administration as it attempts to deliver on Trump's vows to deport all illegal immigrants.Stephen Miller, Trump's immigration adviser and White House deputy chief of staff, has been railing against the courts and immigration rights groups, who he claims have overplayed their hand and are illegally derailing Trump's agenda."The only process illegals are due is deportation," Miller wrote online in May.The topic has cropped up in numerous heated, high-profile court cases, many of which remain pending.Kilmar Abrego Garcia alleged he was wrongly deported to El Salvador despite an immigration judge forbidding it. A group of deportees bound for Sudan, but held up in inhumane conditions in Djibouti, argued in court that they got no due process. Additionally, numerous men deported under the Alien Enemies Act to a Salvadoran megaprison have claimed in courts that they were not afforded a chance to contest their removal.Von Spakovsky indicated that the Supreme Court would ultimately continue to decide where lower courts were, or were not, overstepping.JUDGE DENIES REQUEST TO KEEP KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA IN CUSTODY"Federal courts that assume jurisdiction over banned, prohibited, or limited claims by aliens are violating federal law, and the Supreme Court should tell them so," he wrote.The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed noncitizens are entitled to some form of due process."It is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law in deportation proceedings," Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in Reno v. Flores in 1993.In an order in April, the Supreme Court cited Scalias words when it directed the Trump administration to give "reasonable" notice to the alleged transnational gang members at risk of being deported under the Alien Enemies Act.The high court said those who are subject to the Alien Enemies Act must be given a chance to "seek habeas relief" before they are deported. Habeas corpus petitions are a form of legal recourse for those who believe they have been wrongly detained.

Washington Post columnist Erik Wemple sharply criticized Paramount on Wednesday for settling with President Donald Trump for $16 million earlier this week over edits made to a CBS News "60 Minutes" interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris last October.Wemple argued that Paramount's settlement sets a dangerous precedent for journalistic integrity and press freedom after capitulating to the president in hopes of protecting its merger with Skydance Media.The media partnership is subject to the approval of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which is currently overseen by Trump-appointed commissioners.CBS STAFFERS REVOLT OVER PARAMOUNT'S 'SHAMEFUL' TRUMP SETTLEMENT, 'BETRAYAL' TO THE NETWORK'S JOURNALISTSWemple contended that the media giant settled with Trump because it believed the case "could thwart merger approval.""Honest journalism requires noting that Paramounts leaders will never, ever hear the end of this abject decision. Nor should they," he asserted.The columnist claimed that Paramount's settlement "withers" the First Amendment after it "caved prematurely and completely" to Trump's lawsuit, unlike its subsidiary, CBS News, which cited First Amendment protections in their court filing.Wemple insisted that media organizations typically settle only when they "screw up" something he maintains CBS News did not do."The settlement doesnt include an apology, and thats because there is nothing to apologize for. Its actions under attack in the Trump suit are the subject of great reverence from the First Amendment," he stated.BERNIE SANDERS BLASTS PARAMOUNT, SAYS LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT WILL FURTHER EMBOLDEN TRUMP TO ATTACK MEDIACiting the 1974 case Miami Herald Pub. Co. v. Tornillo, in which the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Herald after they refused to publish pushback by a politician to critical editorials, Wemple argued Paramount tarnished the precedent of this ruling with their settlement."That very function the one that happens many times a day at newspapers, radio stations, TV stations, networks, social media accounts, newsletters, whatever is what Paramount failed to stick up for," he declared. "It doesnt deserve the likes of "60 Minutes."Fox News Digital reached out to CBS News and Paramount for comment on Wemple's editorial but did not immediately receive a response.

As lawmakers march toward a vote on President Donald Trumps "big, beautiful bill," House Republicans arent too worried about primary threats from tech billionaire Elon Musk.Musk, who once served as the head of Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been highly critical of the presidents legislative agenda. He had remained quiet about the bill until earlier this week when Senate Republicans were making strides to pass it."We don't take threats lightly up here," Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., told Fox News Digital. "And, you know, Elon, we appreciate all the work he did with DOGE and he did some fine work, some great work but at the same time, this is something we've got to do."JEFFRIES STALLS TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' FOR HOURS AFTER HOUSE GOP MUTINY BREAKTHROUGHMusk again returned to bemoan Republicans for supporting the legislative behemoth for its staggering $3.3 trillion price tag and the impact it would have on the nations already massive, $37 trillion debt. He went so far as to threaten to back primary challengers against any Republican that voted for the bill.It wouldnt be the first time that Musk has been involved he dumped millions into Trumps campaign last year.Now, House Republicans are gearing up to vote after hours of delays, negotiations and a near record-breaking amount of open floor time in the lower chamber. Additionally, many dont care about Musks threats.TRUMP CALLS OUT REPUBLICAN HOLDOUTS AS HOUSE PROCEDURAL VOTE ON MEGABILL REMAINS OPEN: COSTING YOU VOTES!Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mi., told Fox News Digital that he was focused on doing the best "we could do, which is, frankly, better than what Elon Musk did.""I don't worry about Elon Musk," he said. "I do know that DOGE found some good things that we needed to remedy in this government. But the $2 trillion that Elon said he was going to find, he didn't."Musk took particular issue with the Senates changes to the bill, too, and slammed it for adding trillions to the deficit.Rep. Brad Knott, R-N.C., noted that the bill cuts north of $1.5 trillion in an effort to help offset the cost of extending or making permanent Trumps 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' STALLS IN HOUSE AMID CONSERVATIVE MUTINY THREATS"I appreciate Mr. Musk's motivation," he told Fox News Digital. "I appreciate his focus on debt reduction, and I hope he'll take a step back and realize that we're still all on the same team here."While the Senates changes, particularly to Medicaid and a reduction in the rollback of green energy subsidies from former President Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, among other cost-driving issues, gave fiscal hawks in the House heartburn, House Republican leadership is confident that the bill will pass.

President Donald Trump returns to Iowa Thursday evening.But his stop in the state that for half a century has held the lead-off contest in the race for the Republican presidential nomination is about 2026 rather than 2028.Trump will headline a Fourth of July eve event at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines to kick off America250, a series of yearlong celebrations surrounding the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.Longtime Iowa GOP chair Jeff Kaufmann told Fox News it's no surprise that the president picked Iowa to kick off celebrations of America's independence.TRUMP ANNOUNCES HE'LL KICK OFF INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND WITH VERY SPECIAL PATRIOTIC EVENT"Weve always had a special relationship with the president," Kaufmann told Fox News Digital, as he noted that Trump carried the one-time general election battleground turned red state in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 presidential elections.Kaurfmann said Trump's stop in Iowa "is very symbolic, but its also very telling of what is important to him and I really believe hes starting here because not only does he love Iowa, but he believes in the heartland. I think this is a huge message that hes sending to everyone that he hasnt forgotten who brought him to the dance."TRUMP WHITE HOUSE RELEASES VIDEO SERIES LEADING UP TO AMERICA'S 250TH BIRTHDAY: 'ROAD TO INDEPENDENCE'Veteran Iowa-based Republican consultant Nicole Schlinger said "it's no surprise" that the president has "chosen to kick off America 250 at the best state fairgrounds in the country.""From the day his helicopter first landed here in 2015, Trump has had a special connection with Iowa. Hes straight-talking, hardworking and unapologetically proud of our country just like Iowans," Schlinger added. "Starting Americas 250th in Iowa is a reminder that the road to our future runs through the heartland."Trump is no stranger to the fairgrounds.Presidential candidate Trump walked through the crowds at the famed state fair in 2015 and 2023, and he held large rallies at the fairgrounds just ahead of the 2016 Iowa caucuses and again in October 2021.Trump's trip will also spark speculation about 2028."Trump 2028" hats are available for $50 and T-shirts that read "Trump 2028 (Re-write the Rules)," sell for $36 on the Trump Organization's website.But the rules are quite clear: The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution restricts presidents to two terms in office.KEEP YOUR EYES ON THESE SIX REPUBLICANS AS 2028 TALK STARTS TO HEAT UPAnd after months of flirting with running for a third term in the White House, Trump appears to be ruling out another campaign.Despite touting strong support in the MAGA world for a 2028 run for re-election, the president in a May interview on NBC News' "Meet the Press" said, "I'm not looking at that.""Ill be an eight-year president," Trump added. "Ill be a two-term president. I always thought that was very important."But Trump's 2028 flirtations, which he said weren't a joke, and his sweeping moves since the start of his second tour of duty in the White House are keeping the spotlight firmly on him, averting any lame-duck talk and putting a damper on any early moves by those in the Republican Party hoping to succeed the president.The race for the next GOP presidential nomination won't get underway until Trump's ready to share the spotlight, and he recently said it's "far too early" to begin holding those discussions.But Trump also added, "Im looking to have four great years and turn it over to somebody, ideally a great Republican, a great Republican, to carry it forward."Vice President JD Vance is presumed to be the extremely early frontrunner in the race to be the next GOP standard-bearer.But other Republican politicians, with a likely eye to 2028, already have made stops in Iowa.Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who ran unsuccessfully for the 2016 GOP nomination, and Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, already have visited Iowa in 2025.And Govs. Glenn Youngkin of Virginia and Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas stopped in the Hawkeye State in July.Kaufmann, pointing to Vance, noted, "Ive said on multiple occasions that the vice president certainly has a standing invitation."And Kaufmann, addressing the early 2028 trips to Iowa, highlighted that "its 24-7 here, 365 days a year. Its exactly how we want it and I think our folks are ready for the challenge yet again."

Researchers are looking for answers and embarking on a special expedition following the 88th anniversary of the disappearance of American aviator Amelia Earhart.The Perdue Research Foundation (PRF, based in Indiana) and Archaeological Legacy Institute (ALI, based in Oregon) announced on Wednesday the "Taraia Object Expedition" project.Researchers will head to the remote island of Nikumaroro, which is halfway between Australia and Hawaii, according to a joint press release from the two agencies.RARE CHRISTIAN CROSS AMONG SPECTACULAR 1,000-YEAR-OLD VIKING TREASURES FOUND BY METAL DETECTORISTSWhile on the island, researchers will determine whether the "Taraia Object," a visual anomaly captured by a satellite, is actually the remains of Earharts plane.Earhart is widely known as an aviation trailblazer, becoming the first woman to fly solo across the U.S. nonstop on Aug. 24, 1932.She once worked at Perdue University in Indiana, serving as a career counselor for women and advising the aeronautical engineering department while living in the womens residence hall.In an announcement of the new expedition, Purdue President Mung Chiang shared that "the Boilermaker spirit of exploration lives on."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER"About nine decades ago, Amelia Earhart was recruited to Purdue, and the university president later worked with her to prepare an aircraft for her historic flight around the world,"said Chiang.Richard Pettigrew, ALI executive director, said in the release, "What we have here is maybe the greatest opportunity ever to finally close the case.""With such a great amount of very strong evidence, we feel we have no choice but to move forward and hopefully return with proof," he added.Earhart flew "The Electra," which disappeared on July 2, 1937."Both Earhart and herhusband and manager, George Putnam, expressed theirintention toreturn the Electra to Purdue after herhistoric flight," saidStevenSchultz, seniorvice president and general counsel at Purdue.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyleResearchers hypothesize that Earhart did not crash at sea, but instead landed and was stranded on Nikumaroro Island, later perishing there.
