Trump to Give First Address to Congress Tuesday

HeadlineFeb 27, 2017

Trump is slated to give his first presidential address to Congress Tuesday. Democratic lawmakers have begun giving their tickets away to immigrants as a protest against Trump’s crackdown against immigration and immigrants. Among those invited to Trump’s address Tuesday is Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, an Iraqi-American doctor who first discovered Flint’s children had elevated levels of lead in their blood. President Trump is expected to sign a new executive order banning travel from seven majority-Muslim nations later this week. His first Muslim travel ban was blocked by the courts.
