The House has passed legislation that would extend temporary protections for Haitian immigrants living in the United States. The long-shot effort against President Donald Trump's attempts to end that status would allow hundreds of thousands of qualifying immigrants to remain in the U.S. without fear of deportation.

Included in the Republican Party's big bill of tax breaks and spending cuts is funding to power President Donald Trump's deportation agenda. The nearly $170 billion is almost double the Department of Homeland Security's annual budget and is raising alarms.

The Senate quickly confirmed the Florida senator from Miami as secretary of state Monday, voting unanimously to give President Donald Trump the first member of his new Cabinet on Inauguration Day.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., warned that the “stunningly unserious” bill has no chances in the Senate.
