ministration must fully restore DACA, a program

Arrested for Officer Assault
New Jersey Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez
says President Donald Trump’s attack on NBA star
LeBron James is part of a larger pattern of racist
behavior. Menendez wrote in a tweet Monday that
Trump wouldn’t have questioned James’ intelli-
gence or charity work if he were white. Trump
criticized James on Friday after an interview aired

Trump divisive.

several times since Trump took office last year. A
final decision rests with the West Hollywood Cham-
ber of Commerce.
