Texas offers Trump land for migrant 'deportation facilities'
WASHINGTON — Texas authorities say they are prepared to offer President-elect Donald Trump 1,400 acres (567 hectares) of land along the US-Mexico border to build detention facilities for undocumented migrants.In a letter, the Texas General Land Office said the plot could be used to build facilities for "processing, detention, and co-ordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation's history".Trump has repeatedly pledged to deport millions of undocumented migrants and mobilize the National Guard to help carry this out.His plan, however, is likely to face enormous financial and logistics hurdles, as well as immediate legal challenges from rights groups.The letter, published online and sent to Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, notes that the...

Pressure has mounted on the ethics committee to release its findings into Gaetz
Fate of Gaetz ethics report uncertain after congressional panel deadlocked
WASHINGTON — A congressional ethics committee has failed to reach an agreement over whether to release a report on alleged sexual misconduct by Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump's nominee to lead the US Department of Justice.The House committee met for two hours behind closed doors on Wednesday, as calls grew for details of its investigation into Gaetz, a former Florida congressman whose nomination to serve as attorney general has proved controversial."There was no consensus on this issue," Democratic Representative Susan Wild told reporters, adding that a vote had been taken but the bipartisan committee remained split along party lines.She said they would meet again on 5 December. It is unclear whether they could release the report into Gaetz, who denies any wrongdoing, before...
