Baby On Board: Passenger Gives Birth On Delta Flight

A passenger on a Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta gave birth to a healthy 5-1/2 pound (2.5-kilogram) girl just before the Boeing 737 landed at Portland International Airport in Oregon on Friday night. Two paramedics who happened to be on the flight assisted, borrowing blankets from other passengers and using a shoelace to tie off the umbilical cord. Baby Brielle Renee Blair came in about two weeks ahead of schedule; the plane, about 20 minutes. Her mom, Ashley Blair, who is from Tennessee, was flying to Oregon to be with her own mother for the birth, but didn't quite make it. She went into labor about half an hour from Portland. One of the paramedics, Tina Fritz, told The Associated Press on Monday that she and the other paramedic, Kaarin Powell, were returning home after vacationing in the Dominican Republic. They had been helping a nurse attend to the medical needs of another passenger at the back of the plane when a flight attendant asked them to check on Blair. They found Blair was indeed in labor and contractions were getting close. It was a full flight with 153 passengers on board — soon to be 154 — so they began moving the passengers next to Blair back to their seats to make room for the delivery. They asked flight attendants for blankets and an obstetrical kit, a sterile set of medical tools used in emergency childbirth. Fritz said they had to improvise when neither was available. They got blankets from other passengers and a shoestring from a flight attendant to tie off the umbilical cord. Powell tore out one of her own shoes laces to use as a tourniquet to start an IV. Then, Fritz recalled, the mother yelled: “OK, it’s time. I got to push.” As she was doing so, flight attendants told Fritz and Powell they needed to sit, because the plane was about to touch down. “We’re like, ‘No! No!’” she said. Blair gave three “super, really good pushes, and the baby came out really quickly,” Fritz said. “It was nice.” Powell cut the umbilical cord and sat down while holding the baby. Fritz sat down next to her, and the wheels hit the runway. “Baby pinked up right away,” Fritz said. “She was gorgeous. Mom was a rock star.” After the plane began taxiing to the jetway, they handed the baby to Blair, and everyone celebrated by taking photos. A responding crew from Portland Airport Fire & Rescue “found the mother and baby healthy, and the new family was transported to a local hospital for observation,” Port of Portland spokesperson Molly Prescott said in an email to The Associated Press. In a statement, Delta said a doctor and two nurses assisted flight attendants, but Fritz said there was no doctor and the only nurse stayed with the first ailing passenger. Delta didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking clarification. “We extend our sincere thanks to the crew and medical volunteers on board who stepped in to provide care to a customer onboard prior to landing in Portland. The health and safety of our customers is always our top priority, and we wish the new family all the best,” Delta said in the statement. Blair didn’t return messages from the AP. Fritz, who has been keeping in touch with Blair since the birth, said she's been a little overwhelmed by all the attention. “I feel like we’re friends now forever,” Fritz said.

Federal Agents Conduct More Raids In MN

Agents are serving search warrants in Minnesota in an ongoing federal fraud investigation of publicly funded social programs. Few details were released, though agents could be seen outside childcare centers in the Minneapolis area. Gov. Tim Walz welcomed the action. Minnesota was the site of an immigration crackdown that led to the deaths of two people this year. Before that crackdown, the government brought charges against dozens of people, many of them Somali Americans, who were charged with fleecing a federal program that was meant to provide food to kids.

Times Square To Host National 4th of July Event To Celebrate America's 250th Anniversary

New York City is preparing to host a nationwide Independence Day celebration this year as America250 and One Times Square announce a new broadcast event called the “Giving 4th.” Organizers say the celebration will transform the iconic Times Square Ball Drop into a coast-to-coast countdown experience ahead of America’s 250th anniversary. For the first time, the Times Square Ball will drop eight separate times, marking midnight across every U.S. time zone — from Guam to New York and through the continental United States to American Samoa. The event begins July 3rd with live performances and a rolling countdown across time zones, culminating in a New York City midnight moment before continuing westward through the night. Officials say the goal is to unite the country in a shared national celebration leading into Independence Day events nationwide. As part of the initiative, July 4th will feature “America’s Block Party in the Sky” at One Times Square, along with public events and a national charitable giving campaign focused on service and donations. On July 5th, a “Day of Reflection” will encourage Americans to engage with the Declaration of Independence and share messages of remembrance and gratitude. Organizers say the multi-day event blends entertainment, reflection, and community service ahead of the nation’s semiquincentennial. Separately, Coca-Cola is launching a yearlong America250 campaign featuring commemorative packaging, including limited-edition bottles and collectible mini-cans representing all 50 states, as well as Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. The company says the initiative will also include volunteer efforts, public art installations, and community programs focused on service and local storytelling throughout 2026.

Trump administration pushes new tariff plan

The Trump administration is moving quickly to keep tariffs in place following a recent setback at the Supreme Court. Earlier this year, the court struck down key import taxes, prompting President Donald Trump to introduce temporary tariffs as a replacement. Those measures are set to expire in less than three months. Starting this week, the government will hold hearings on two investigations — one examining countries accused of failing to enforce bans on forced labor, and another focused on global overproduction. Officials say both reviews could lead to a new round of U.S. tariffs.
