Un-professional protesters; Trump in the House; Immigration guidelines
Meet the protesters
President Trump’s description of “so-called angry crowds” confronting Republican lawmakers across the country as hardcore liberal activists, has, if anything, only increased the resolve of many people who are taking up activism for the first time. From Oregon to Virginia, thousands of amateurs are making waves and demanding answers from their representatives. We meet some, and ask about their motives.
Trump in the House
Next Tuesday, President Trump will give his first joint address to Congress. How will the president command the podium in the august House chamber? What will it feel like in the room? After a tumultuous first month, will Mr. Trump use his speech to turn attention away from solo executive actions and cabinet appointments toward an agenda that will require working with Congress?
Immigration guidelines
The White House has spelled out its new guidelines to tackle illegal immigration, but it’s still unclear how authorities will target and deport people living in the U.S. illegally. We went directly to the front lines in the nation’s border war to see how local law enforcement in Arizona is handling the issue.
Sober, but dangerous
Cars have more safety features than ever before, but the number of U.S. deaths from car accidents is at its highest level in nearly a decade. Are motorists to blame, or is something else going on? We look at what driver behaviors might be to blame for the surge in auto fatalities.
Ticket scalpers
Tickets to see country star Eric Church and other big performers often sell out in just minutes, and professional scalpers are a major reason why. Church tells “CBS This Morning” why he’s on a mission to fight back against the scalpers.
Working cats
Who says cats are lazy? Animal shelters around the U.S. are deploying feral and other unadoptable felines to help people rid their homes, barns and other buildings of vermin. We look at the growing popularity of “working cat” programs as a low-cost, poison-free way of dealing with pests.
