President Donald Trump is expected to announce that he will end protections for young immigrants who were brought into the country illegally as children, but with a six-month delay, people familiar with the plans said.

President Donald Trump is expected to end a program that protected undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children -- so-called "Dreamers" -- from deportation, four sources familiar with the decision told CNN.

House Republican allies of President Donald Trump are intent on giving him a long-sought victory in Congress by finally making a down payment on his long-promised wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.

Y ou hear a lot of people in political conversations these days talking about the need to "tone down the rhetoric," although it is not always clear what they mean.

Steve Scalise, the House majority whip, and four others wounded in a Washington suburb.
Not Donald Trump's first, Czech born, wife Ivana Trump, but a staunch conservative lawmaker now appears to be the front runner to be the next US ambassador to the Czech Republic. A bigger contrast with the previous incumbent under former president Barack Obama could hardly be found.
