McCain Holds Out as GOP Wages Last Push to Repeal Obamacare
Sen. John McCain, a Republican who may hold a pivotal vote in the last-ditch GOP effort to repeal Obamacare, is withholding his support as leaders stare down a final deadline to act by the end of the month. "I am not supportive of the bill yet," the Arizona senator told reporters Monday, adding that he wants a more thorough legislative process.

House Passes Bill to Deport Suspected MS-13 Gang Members
House lawmakers passed legislation Thursday that would make suspected membership in the violent MS-13 street gang a sufficient cause for deportation. It is not clear whether the bill will pass the Senate, but President Donald Trump is expected to sign the bill if it reaches his desk. President Trump has cited the violent acts of MS-13 as a prime example of why securing the border and overhauling the current immigration system is of paramount importance to the nation. Many MS-13 members are in the United States illegally, but some MS-13 members are immigrants currently in this country legally. Still others are ... Read More
