Arizona Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego is launching an effort to challenge a new Trump Administration immigration policy that could require many green card applicants to leave the United States and complete the process abroad.

According to a report from The Hill, Gallego is not only seeking to overturn the policy itself but is also pursuing a procedural strategy that could make it easier for Congress to reverse the change.

The dispute revolves around a recent U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) policy affecting how certain immigrants obtain lawful permanent residency.

President Obama’s secretary of defense, Ash Carter, has died. Carter opened military service to transgendered service members and combat roles to women.

He was only 68.

The New York Times reports:

The cause was a heart attack, his family said in a statement.

Dr. Carter was widely regarded for his prowess in military technology and policy. After teaching at Harvard and directing its John F. Kennedy School of Government, he joined the Clinton administration in 1993 as assistant secretary of defense for international security policy. In that position, he directed efforts to assist post-Soviet states in securing their stockpiles of nuclear weapons.

Later, in the first Obama administration, he served as deputy secretary of defense under Chuck Hagel. He helped carry out the president’s shift to Asia, reshuffling defense resources and priorities to the Pacific Rim in an effort to counter China.

He is survived by his wife, Stephanie, his daughter, Ava, and his son, Will.

    The jabs? Again? Well, it’s some kind of relief to know that they don’t discriminate, that they do in the evil as well as the good.

    Since Carter opened military service to transgendered service members and combat roles to women but is now deceased, can that policy be sunsetted? (Asking for a friend)

    He was a bad Sec. of Defense. My question is what was his possible involvement with the Clinton crime family?
