An Iranian missile-hidden airbase in Saudi Arabia injuring a number of U.S. troops.

As NPR's Greg Maire reports, Iran has been striking bases with U.S. forces over the last month.

The Iranian missile slammed into the Prince Sultan airbase, a military facility

shared by Saudi and U.S. forces outside the capital Riyadh.

This comes from a U.S. official, speaking to NPR, who is not authorized to comment publicly.

The official said U.S. service members were wounded, and some aircraft were apparently damaged as well.

The Wall Street Journal reported that 10 Americans were hurt in the strike, too seriously.

Iran is targeted U.S. bases throughout the region since the war began a month ago.

Overall, the Pentagon has put the U.S. casualty toll at 13 killed and more than 300 injured.

Travelers are facing the longest wait times in TSA history because TSA agents have been

required to work without pay during the government shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security.

Employees at some airports are calling out of work at rates of 40 to 50 percent.

Ricky Smith is the general manager of the world's busiest airport,

Atlanta's Hartzfield Jackson International.

During the previous shutdown, it was a four-government shutdown.

And so TSA employees did not necessarily feel isolated or underappreciated relative to other

federal government employees. This time, that was a factor, right? They seemed like TSA employees

are the ones who are carrying the brunt of this shutdown.

The House today rejected a bill to fund most of DHS that passed out of the Senate.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson says that's because it wouldn't have funded ICE and

border patrol. Johnson says the House will vote on a bill to fund the entire agency later

tonight, but some senators have already left Washington for spring break.

10 people have filed claims in federal court against the Department of Homeland Security saying

the agency violated their constitutional rights.

As NPR's Meg Anderson reports, the claims originate from President Trump's aggressive

immigration enforcement campaign in Minnesota earlier this year.

The people who filed these federal tort claims alleged their first amendment rights were

violated while protesting the ICE surge in Minnesota. At a press conference, civil rights attorney

John Burris detailed some of what they say they experienced. We have people who are like

dragged out of the car or being tazered, who have been punched, who have had their heads pushed

against the sidewalk, kicked at various times. Those are unconstitutional use of forces.

Burris, who represented Rodney King against the LAPD in the early 90s, says he expects more people

to come forward. The federal government must now respond to or deny the federal court claims.

The Catholic diocese of Albany, New York, has reached a $148 million settlement with hundreds

of people who say they were sexually abused. Merriam Ahmed from Member Station WAMC reports.

The diocese settled with a committee representing more than 400 victims.

The settlement comes after New York child abuse survivors were allowed to file lawsuits

as part of a look back window created under state law in 2019.

Albany Bishop Mark O'Connell says $50 million will be paid from parish assets.

There is no amount of money that can erase the pain.

We paid from our hurt, from our sacrifice, but there's no way that this is like

perfect amount that everyone's happy.

Diocese across the country have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as a result of sexual abuse settlements.

The astronaut who prompted NASA's first medical evacuation earlier this year

says doctors still don't know why he suddenly fell sick at the International Space Station.

59-year-old Mike Fink said in an interview with the Associated Press that he was eating dinner

when he went into distress, he couldn't talk and remembers no pain.

Fink has logged more than 549 days in space. This is NPR News.
