Picture this: You set the alarm early, haul your family to SFO and elbow your way through airport security — only to find your flight is delayed three hours. What was supposed to be a relaxing vacation in Maui has already become an ordeal. Disruption has long been a feature of air travel, and we all know what it’s like to sit in a boarding area for hours, scarfing fast food and using your suitcase as a back rest.

To help travelers prepare, the Chronicle created a set of online tools that show where and when delays will most likely happen at Bay Area airports. https://trib.al/sj8Bmra

JUST IN: California officials plan to sue the Trump administration over the deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles amid protests against immigration arrests over the weekend. Protesters clashed with law enforcement officials through the weekend in Los Angeles, in some cases burning vehicles and hurling rocks. Newsom said on Saturday that state officials had the situation under control and that President Donald Trump’s decision to send in the National Guard would only ratchet up the confrontations. https://shorturl.at/tyqEm

The death of a teenage girl found in a driveway in a quiet San Francisco neighborhood was a mystery that shocked the city. But even before local authorities examined her body, Jázmin’s mother knew the underlying cause. Severe mental illness had ravaged Jázmin for the last two years of her life. Depression and trauma from early childhood drove Jázmin to self-medicate, run away and intentionally hurt herself. She was repeatedly detained in locked psychiatric hospitals operated by for-profit companies. These facilities are intended to stabilize children and adults in mental health crises while keeping them safe. But rather than help, they subjected Jázmin to chaotic conditions and deficient care. "Failed to Death," a Chronicle investigation, shows California is committing more and more people to psychiatric hospitals run by for-profit companies. Behind locked doors, the results are devastating. Read the investigation: https://trib.al/eABz25H
