The first flights of the Biden administration's latest effort to expedite baby formula delivery to the US amid a nationwide shortage will include US military aircraft, a White House official says.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered the first flights supporting the newly created Operation Fly Formula program, and they will "depart Ramstein Air Base in Germany over the course of this weekend," the White House official said.
"Due to the urgency of the situation, these flights will comprise U.S. military aircraft," the official said.

Oregon authorities are investigating a shooting by a Border Patrol agent in Portland that wounded two people federal authorities say are tied to a violent international gang – an incident that renewed questions about the Trump administration’s handling of its immigration crackdown in the city and across the US.

Mutual distrust between federal and state authorities derailed plans for a joint FBI and state criminal investigation into Wednesday’s shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an ICE officer, leading to the highly unusual move by the Justice Department to block state investigators from participating in the probe.

Vice President JD Vance’s claim Thursday that an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis is “protected by absolute immunity” drew immediate pushback from experts who said the legal landscape around a potential prosecution is far more complicated.
