(TND) — The Biden administration is pushing for changes to speed up the rejection of some asylum claims. The Department of Homeland Security announced Thursday afternoon that it proposed a rule to allow some claim denials in a matter of days versus potentially years.

DUBOIS - A cheesesteak restaurant recently relocated from Cambria County to Clearfield County. Fireside Philly Steaks opened its doors on West Long Avenue in DuBois about two weeks ago. The restaurant is a sandwich shop that specializes in Philly cheesesteaks, subs and pasta. The family-owned restaurant used to be located on Scalp Avenue in Johnstown. Co-owner Jay Johnson said they made the move to DuBois when business got slow. "Our special steak is our number one seller but we also have a lot of pastas that we created,"

PITTSBURGH -- Dan Rooney's priorities were always clear. Family. Football. Faith. Ireland. It's the order they came in for the longtime Pittsburgh Steelers president and chairman, however, that occasionally became blurry. Often in the best way possible. The evidence could be found in the pews at St. Paul's Cathedral on Tuesday, a cross section of a singular life that stretched far beyond his native city, yet never seemed to stray from its roots.

EHRENFELD - Rep. Glenn Thompson said the Pennsylvania 5th Congressional District has more abandoned mine sites than any congressional district in the country. Coal mining in western Pennsylvania has a history longer than the United States itself. While it was still just a colony, our great-grandfathers worked to dig coal out of the ground. "We mined the coal that fueled the Industrial Revolution, WWI and WWII," Rep. Glenn Thompson said. Mining went unchecked for decades because companies weren't required to clean up after themselves.

MUNCIE, Ind. (TND) — A GOP councilman in Indiana has announced that he now identifies as a woman of color and a lesbian, but critics say they believe he is just being insincere and mocking marginalized people by doing so. Delaware County Councilman Ryan Webb announced on Facebook that he had "decided to come out and finally feel comfortable announcing my true authentic self." It is with great relief that I announce to everyone that I identify as a woman and not just any woman but as a woman of color as well.
