President Trump pushes for wall:
- With the budget deadline approaching, President Trump is putting pressure on Congress to push for the Mexican-American border wall. The president said in a tweet on Monday that the wall would be a very important tool in stopping drugs from pouring into our country and poisoning our youth. This effort comes as the one hundred day mark approaches, and failure to come to a consensus could risk a government shut-down.
Marijuana bust:
- Nearly two dozen people were arrested on Saturday night after police raided a large-scale marijuana event. Nineteen men and three women were apprehended following the “Philly smoke session” in the Northeast section of the city. Police confiscated four handguns, fifty pounds of marijuana, and fifty-thousand dollars in cash.
Statues removed:
- Early Monday morning workers in New Orleans removed the Liberty Place monument, the first of four Confederate statues issued to be taken down after the city council voted for their removal in 2015. The remaining statues to be taken down include Confederate generals Robert E. Lee, PGT Beauregard and Confederate States of America president Jefferson Davis.
