The U.S. Justice Department wants cities and states to walk away from sanctuary status, and is threatening to yank U.S. federal law enforcement grants to motivate change.

Sanctuary cities means people in the U.S. without proper immigration documents will not be handed over for deportation if they are caught in any sort of legal infraction.

Trump wants to talk health care

U.S. President Donald Trump says he's open to talking with Congress about how to repeal and replace ObamaCare - that is more formally the Affordable Care Act - after legislation to do exactly that failed last week.

In the latest Gallup poll, only 36 percent of Americans approve of the job the President is doing, a number that has fallen to new lows due in part to this first big legislative failure.

While the Freedom caucus group of the U.S. Congress says they will not compromise, White House spokesman Sean Spicer thinks there's an opportunity with some Democrats to move forward on health care.
