Feds want psychological tests for parents of separated kids

The Biden administration is asking that parents of children separated at the U.S.-Mexico border undergo another round of psychological evaluations to measure how traumatized they were by the Trump administration policy.

The request outlined in court documents comes in a lawsuit filed by migrants seeking compensation from the government. Thousands of children were taken from parents in a policy maligned as inhumane by political and religious leaders around the world.

No system had been created to reunite children with their families, and hundreds remain separated. Settlement talks over damage claims broke down late last year.

JetBlue CEO first witness in US lawsuit against 2 airlines

A trial is underway in the federal government’s lawsuit aiming to kill a partnership between American Airlines and JetBlue Airways in the Northeast.

The government says the deal is, in effect, a merger that will cost consumers $700 million a year in higher fares. But the airlines say the pact — which has been in place for 18 months — is already letting them open new routes that are good for travelers.

They say the deal boosts competition by helping American and JetBlue compete with Delta and United, especially in the New York area.
