Republicans are racing to pass a $72 billion immigration enforcement package. And, the U.S. has indicted former Cuban President Raúl Castro for his alleged role in the 1996 downing of two planes.
Senate Republican sources say that President Trump’s agenda for the rest of the year is in serious trouble, including a budget reconciliation package to fund immigration enforcement operations through 2029, after tempers erupted at a meeting between GOP senators and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche last week. It’s been a week marked by major geopolitical, legal and public health developments across several fronts. Republicans are racing to pass a $72 billion immigration enforcement package.
And, the U.S. has indicted former Cuban President Raúl Castro for his alleged role in the 1996 downing of two planes. The indictment alleges Castro was responsible for shooting down two civilian planes carrying aid to Cuba in 1996.
The Hill reported the story as "Trump friction with GOP senators may imperil his agenda, senators say." Los Angeles Times reported the story as "Cuba tells its citizens to prepare for war as U.S. targets Castro." Fox News reported the story as "Castro indictment fuels speculation Trump may be reviving Maduro playbook against Cuba."
