WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Trump huddled with House Republicans on Capitol Hill as lawmakers continue to search for a way to end the administration’s policy of separating families who illegally cross the U.S. Mexico border.
With votes scheduled on two pieces of legislation this week in the House, does any have enough support to pass?
POLK COUNTY, Fla. — Alajandra Juarez, 38, is the wife of a Marine veteran.
The couple lives in Davenport, Polk County and has two daughters, ages 8 and 16.
After living in Central Florida for years, married to a Marine and raising two daughters, Alejandra Juarez is facing deportation to Mexico next week — unless she gets a last-minute reprieve.
Juarez’s pending deportation is destroying her family, she said.

House Democrats are demanding a hearing on the Trump administration's recovery efforts in Puerto Rico after a Harvard study estimated the island's death toll after Hurricane Maria may be 70 times greater than the government's official tally.
