As Donald Trump vows to deport millions of undocumented migrants, NBC’s Kristen Welker asked the president several times if he felt bound by the due process clause of the Constitution.

1 week ago | lockportjournal.com | Mark Scheer

Niagara County officials said they did what they could to try to maintain contact and to ensure Janet Lynn Lafler had access to services she may have needed as the victim of a heinous crime in which she was set on fire and nearly burnt to death last year. They also say Lafler, not unlike cases involving other victims of violent crime, did not always avail herself of all the county had to offer, making it more difficult to help her before a sheriff’s deputy found her dead on Jan.
