DHS Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (DHS TRIP)

The Department of Homeland Security Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (DHS TRIP) is a single point of contact for individuals who have had difficulties during travel screenings at transportation hubs such as airports or U.S. borders. These difficulties include:

• Denied or delayed airline boarding,
• Repeated additional screening, or
• Denied or delayed entry into the United States, via airport, border crossing, or seaport.

UPDATE: In June 2024, following up from the October 2023 initial release of Spanish, DHS TRIP has expanded the multilingual support tool for the Arabic, Simplified Chinese, and Taiwanese-speaking communities. Travelers may now view the application and resources in Arabic, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and Taiwanese by toggling their preferred language at the top of the website. Accessibility in other languages is planned for future updates.

Aer Lingus Has Roundtrip Flight Deals to Dublin for Under $500

From a number of U.S. cities.

levers2007/Getty Images

For travelers seeking a sign to plan their next vacation, this flight sale might be the one. Aer Lingus , a discount air carrier based in Dublin, Ireland, recently released several discounted flights throughout the end of summer and early fall, which can provide a last-minute summer European getaway.  The airline is offering a special deal of a flight to Boston to Dublin with availability through the fall, for $498 roundtrip in the airline's economy cabin. For $502, travelers can fly from New York's JFK Airport to Dublin, also throughout the fall.  From the midwest, Aer Lingus is offering deals on direct flights from Cleveland, OH and Chicago, IL to Dublin between September 11 and November 20, for under $575 round-trip in economy. The discounted fares are in the airline's Economy - Saver category, which includes one carry-on bag, and a meal. For approximately $90 more, travelers can get the Economy - Smart fare class, which includes a checked bag and advanced seat selection.  All of the deals are posted on Aer Lingus’ website, in a special section of flights from the US . Travelers can input their origin airport, and even maximum budget, to find the cheapest flights.  Aer Lingus was founded in 1936 and is the official airline for Ireland, and even has a whimsical shamrock on the tail. The airline operates service from New York's JFK to both Dublin and Shannon, as well as flights to Dublin from Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, Orlando, and more.  Flying in and out of Dublin’s airport can be a time-saver for international travelers as it has a rare distinction of being a pre-clearance airport . This means travelers skip customs in the United States airport by completing the process on site in Dublin, which can be faster due to less flights using the facility.  Tourism from the USA to Ireland is on the rise. More than 1 million American tourists visited Ireland in 2023, with an average stay in the country of 8 days, according to a IrishCentral news report . In an effort to spread the word about Ireland, the official tourism board for the country recently debuted a new marketing campaign called "Fill your heart with Ireland" featuring the heritage and activities available by visiting.

Oregon ranks as one of the 10 best states for hikers

Oregon is the No. 10 best state in the country for hikers , according to a new ranking.

Kuru Footwear ranked the best states in the United States for hiking, looking at “five key metrics—total hiking trail reviews, number of trails, percentage of trails ranked as easy, trails rated 4.5 stars or higher, and yearly precipitation.”

The ranking, citing the more than 3,000 trails in Oregon, is well-earned, if perhaps — in our opinion — a little low.

Oregon is famous for beautiful waterfall hikes across the state, particularly in the Columbia River gorge and on the Oregon coast .

The Wallowa Mountains in eastern Oregon offer an array of hiking destinations, such as Eagle Cap Wilderness , Zumwalt Prairie , Hells Canyon and Wallowa Lake . The East Moraine trail near Joseph is a favorite of The Oregonian/OregonLive’s travel reporter Jamie Hale.

A hike to No Name Lake in Oregon’s Central Cascades is considered a bucket list-worthy adventure .

The Portland area has an array of easy and accessible suburban hikes . You don’t have to venture too far from Oregon’s urban areas to find challenging hikes , either.

Part of the reason for Oregon’s arguably low finish in the ranking? It rains too much here.

Oregonians, however, don’t let that stop them. In fact, the Pacific Northwest is the perfect destination for anyone who loves a beautiful rainy day hike .

Colorado, a state with about half the yearly precipitation of Oregon, was ranked. No. 1.

Nearby Washington state is No. 8 – and for good reason.

Mount St. Helens is a popular hiking destination in southwest Washington. (And, no, it is not about to erupt .)

Olympic National Park and the Washington side of the Columbia gorge are perennial favorites as well.

Election latest: 'A long way to go', Angela Rayner tells activists at major Labour campaign rally; Farage told to 'get a grip' on party

Labour is holding a major rally in London as the general election campaign enters the final days. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage has been told to "get a grip" on his party amid a vast racism row.

Sir Keir Starmer's Labour Party has secured the endorsement of global superstar Sir Elton John, and his husband, David Furnish.

Actor, musician, and comedian Bill Bailey is next to speak at Labour's campaign rally.

He is a lifelong Labour supporter, and has previously appeared in election broadcasts on behalf of the party.

He opens with jokes about his new haircut, but moves quickly on to more serious matters - the rapidly approaching election day.

"The Tories are now bracing themselves for a Liz Truss comeback - what is it with this 'don't surrender' business? It's a kind of mad wartime nonsense."

He is referring to the Conservative Party's latest message of not "surrendering" to the Labour Party.

"To say they've got a grip of things is an insult to grips and things," he quips, to laughter and applause.

He tells activists that this election is "the most important" of his lifetime, and "feels like a pivotal moment in Britain's fortunes".

He thanks party supporters and activists, but warns that it's "not over yet", saying that "every vote is crucial".

Appealing to the wider public to cast a ballot, he says: "Every vote counts."

"The fact that we now have a real possibility of a Labour government is in no small part [thanks] to the great efforts of Keir Starmer," he tells the audience, that breaks out in loud applause.

He praises Sir Keir's plan, as well as the team he has built around him.

Mr Bailey appeals to voters to back Labour, saying change only comes if you vote for it.

He says the feeling of the last 14 years is "neglect" and missed opportunities".

"These 14 years have diminished a sense of what is possible, of what Britain is capable of, of what we are all capable of.

"We say enough of that. 14 years of waste - it has to end."

Labour's deputy leader has just addressed party supporters at a campaign rally in London.

Here is what she said, as she said it (this post was updated live):

• Ms Rayner opens by thanking activists for their work on this campaign so far, on behalf of the entire shadow cabinet team;
• But she says there is still "a long way to go" and "millions" have not cast their vote or decided which way they will go, so slowing down would be "disrespectful to them";
• "Right now we've won nothing," she emphasises;
• "The past six weeks alone have shown we can't take another minute of this chaos";
• She argues that Labour has delivered change in government in past, and is now "ready to deliver a radical and responsibly plan for Britain's future";
• She reiterates that Labour does "not promise the earth", but that "stability is change and the bedrock upon which everything is built";
• Ms Rayner warns that "next Friday, we could all wake up to five more years of Tory chaos" - and appeals to the public to vote for "change" with Labour.

With days to go until polls open in the general election, the Labour Party is holding a major campaign rally in London.

Sir Keir Starmer is due to address gathered activists as they prepare to make their closing arguments to voters across the country.

The party is also expected to unveil celebrity endorsements during the event.

Watch live in the stream at the top of this page, at the link below - and follow live updates here in the Politics Hub.

TV presenter Rylan Clark has said he would "love" to become a politician - and replace the party system with a "Power Rangers of government" model.

The TV personality, 35, joined political editor Beth Rigby and former Scottish Conservative leader Baroness Ruth Davidson for this week's Sky News Electoral Dysfunction podcast.

Asked if he would ever consider the career change, he said: "If I wasn't in the job that I was in, I would love nothing more."

Rylan, who won Celebrity Big Brother and also appeared on the X Factor, appeared on the podcast in place of Labour candidate Jess Phillips after tweeting his praise for Rigby on the day Rishi Sunak announced the general election.

Sharing a clip of her and Sky presenter Sophy Ridge outside a rainy Downing Street waiting for Mr Sunak to appear at the lectern, he said: "Obsessed with the Rigby."

Speaking to her and Davidson, he said his "obsession" with politics began with Brexit - "as we've seen so many promises which weren't fulfilled" since then.

He added: "I lie there at night sometimes, and I think about [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy. He hosted one of the same shows I've hosted in Ukraine."

The TV presenter also shared his idea of abandoning political parties altogether.

837 miles. That is, officially at least, the distance the Lib Dem bus will travel on its final campaign push from John O'Groats in the North East of Scotland, to Land's End on the tip of Cornwall.

Add in several daily campaign stops (and, insists our producer Katy, the fact that she and a hardcore crew rode the bus all the way up from London), and the total distance will be considerably more.

Nor is it simply another Lib Dem gimmick. Both John O'Groats and Land's End are in constituencies the party are very much targeting at this election.

What's instructive, though, are the stops they have planned in-between.

It's been a busy start to the trip, with four stops in Scotland alone. A mixture of seats the party is defending, and those it hopes to take from the SNP.

But once we leave Edinburgh tonight, we drive for several hours without stopping, until we reach the South West of England.

And not by accident. Even the most generous polls only have the Lib Dems gaining 6 seats across the whole of the North of England and the Midlands.

This is a highly targeted campaign. The strategy is to focus on areas where the party has historical strength, and where it has recently come second, primarily to the Conservatives.

And of approximately 85 such seats, 69 are in the South West, South East and London.

It is there that the Lib Dem campaign will succeed or fail. And it is there that we will spend the last precious few days left to campaign.

No doubt with the occasional stunt thrown in for good measure. 

Pledges and promises are coming thick and fast from every party as the general election approaches. 

Struggling to keep up with who is saying what?

Here is a summary of where the main parties stand on major issues.

The Welsh electorate has travelled in one direction for the last 100 years.

Labour always win more votes and seats than their rivals in Wales but, floating our parliamentary bench on a barge across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, we discover not everything is as tranquil as it seems in this stunning beauty spot.

The 20mph speed limit, wind farms and waiting times on the NHS are all matters raised by people who are not happy with Labour's record in the Senedd.

The first person we meet is Reuben Jones, who works at the local barge hire company adjacent to the aqueduct.

"I'm a transgender person," says Reuben. "I'm very unhappy with the state of the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts at the moment. There are a lot of issues with the education system, a lot of problems with the health care system."

Our live poll tracker collates the results of opinion surveys carried out by all the main polling organisations - and allows you to see how the political parties are performing in the run-up to the general election.

With under a week to go, the Tories and Labour have taken a drop, while support for Reform UK and the Liberal Democrats is on the rise.

First Minister of Scotland John Swinney has joined criticism of "racist and homophobic comments" allegedly made by Reform UK campaigners.

Despite this, he said they are "not a surprise to me".

Mr Swinney, also the leader of the SNP, said: "I think this is where the politics of Reform ends up and I deplore it. I deprecate it. I want nothing to do with it. 

"We will always rail against racist and homophobic comments, and I can't believe that there's a single thing Nigel Farage can do to control a problem that he himself has started."

The SNP leader goes on to claim that this is not a case of bad apples, but "an ingrained problem of Reform".

He says: "Nigel Farage has set this all up. He has stoked it all.

"With every word over all these years, he has incited all that intolerance and prejudice in our society. 

"I want to have nothing to do with it. 

"And I don't think there's anything Nigel Farage can do to stop it, because he created it."
