(CNN) — The Department of Homeland Security on Sunday walked back its decision to suspend the Transportation Security Administration’s PreCheck program, after initially sparking confusion for travelers when it said it was temporarily halting the popular service.

TSA “will evaluate on a case-by-case basis and adjust operations” according to staffing changes, a spokesperson for the agency told CNN on Sunday.

DHS said in a statement earlier in the day that PreCheck, along with the Global Entry program, would shut down at 6 a.m. ET amid a partial government shutdown.

But as of Sunday morning, travelers were still able to pass through lines servicing TSA PreCheck at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Dulles International Airport near Washington, DC.

CNN has reached out to Customs and Border Protection about the status of Global Entry.

Both programs are funded by fees charged to members.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem had said in a statement to CNN that TSA and CBP “are focusing on the general traveling public at our airports and ports of entry.”

“Shutdowns have serious real-world consequences, not just for the men and women of DHS and their families who go without a paycheck, but it endangers our national security,” the statement added. The Washington Post first reported on the measures.

US Travel Association President Geoff Freeman said after the reversal his organization was “glad that DHS has decided to keep PreCheck operational and avoid a crisis of its own making.”

“We are urging the same for Global Entry,” Freeman said. “These Trusted Traveler Programs strengthen aviation security and improve screening efficiency. They are funded by user fees, and there is no reason at this time for them to be suspended.”

The move to suspend the programs would be a significant escalation in how the DHS shutdown would impact travelers, effectively dismantling expedited airport security lanes and fast‑track customs processing relied on by millions of frequent flyers who are US citizens or legal permanent residents as well as international passengers from more than 20 countries.

The confusion comes during a partial government shutdown affecting only DHS, after Congress failed to reach a funding agreement amid a standoff over immigration enforcement policy.

Democrats have pushed for new restrictions on agencies including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and CBP after the fatal shootings of two US citizens by federal officers in Minneapolis this year. Republicans have largely opposed the proposed changes, while pressing Democrats to agree to measures such as

Mexico City (CNN) — The leader of the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel, Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, was killed on Sunday during an operation led by Mexico’s military, according to a government official.

Oseguera, a former police officer, led the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, or CJNG, as it became one of the “most powerful and ruthless criminal organizations” inside Mexico, according to the US Drug Enforcement Agency.

Oseguera was wanted by US authorities, who offered millions for information on his whereabouts.

The Justice Department charged El Mencho in 2022 with leading the effort to manufacture and distribute fentanyl for importation into the US.

A Justice Department indictment of Oseguera said his organization is active in the Mexican states of Jalisco, Colima, and Veracruz, and has a presence elsewhere.

The US State Department issued a travel advisory urging US citizens to shelter in place in the Mexican states of Jalisco, Tamaulipas, and Michoacan due to “ongoing security operations and related road blockages and criminal activity.

El líder del poderoso Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación, Nemesio “el Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, murió este domingo durante una operación dirigida por militares de México, según confirmó a CNN un funcionario del Gobierno.

Presuntos miembros del crimen organizado incendiaron autobuses, bloquearon vías en la zona y se enfrentaron a autoridades tras un operativo en Tapalpa, informó previamente el gobernador de Jalisco, Pablo Lemus, quien pidió a la población mantenerse en sus hogares.

La violencia desatacada Jalisco, que es una sede del Mundial 2026 y albergará en junio a cuatro partidos del torneo en Guadalajara, también llegó a otros estados como Michoacán y Guanajuato, donde las autoridades reportaron autobuses y negocios incendiados.

La presidenta de México, Claudia Sheinbaum, dijo a la prensa en medio de un tumulto que el Gabinete de Seguridad ofrecería la información correspondiente, durante una visita en Coahuila.

Estados Unidos ofrecía hasta US$ 15 millones por información que lleve a la captura del Mencho, acusado de fabricar y distribuir metanfetamina, cocaína y fentanilo para su importación. La agencia antidrogas de EE.UU. (DEA) considera al CJNG como una de las organizaciones criminales más poderosas y despiadadas de México, surgida en la década del 2010 de los restos del Cartel Milenio, afiliado al Cartel de Sinaloa.

El gobernador Lemus afirmó que la violencia se extiende a al menos cinco entidades federativas e instó a la población a no circular por carreteras.

La Secretaría de Seguridad Pública de Michoacán informó que “se mantienen acciones operativas en diferentes puntos del estado para restablecer la vialidad ante bloqueos carreteros”, producto de “labores para la captura de objetivos criminales”.

En tanto, la Secretaría de Seguridad y Paz de Guanajuato reportó quemas en farmacias y tiendas de conveniencia en distintos puntos del estado. “No se registran personas lesionadas, pero sí daños materiales”, agregó el comunicado, que informó el despliegue de un operativo de seguridad en coordinación con el Ejército, la Guardia Nacional y policías municipales.
