Key moments from President Trump's first year
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
DACA deal
As a government funding deadline looms and the fate of Dreamers in the balance, a group of lawmakers have introduced their own DACA bill with bipartisan support. U.S. Reps. Pete Aguilar, a California Democrat, and Will Hurd, a Republican from Texas, join CBSN to discuss their proposal.
Shutdown looming

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Republicans in the Senate are waiting to learn President Trump's position on an immigration deal before moving forward on legislation. In response to a question from CBS News congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes, McConnell said he's "looking for something that President Trump supports, and he's not yet indicated what measure he's willing to sign."
Gov't shutdown fight
GOP leaders are working on a short-term spending bill ahead of Friday's deadline for a government shutdown. Niall Stanage, White House columnist for The Hill, joined CBSN with more on the showdown on Capitol Hill.

Seventy-three percent of them were foreign-born, and 148 of those convicted had become naturalized U.S. citizens. Nielsen spoke to "CBS This Morning" co-host John Dickerson about the study.
Looming gov't shutdown
The anger over President Trump's reported vulgar talk on immigration is now closer to forcing a government shutdown. Congress needs to pass some kind of spending bill by Friday but that's in jeopardy over GOP plans to phase out the DACA program that protects young undocumented immigrants. Nancy Cordes reports.
DHS chief on DACA
Kirstjen Nielsen, President Trump's Homeland Security secretary, tells CBS News immigrants in the DACA program need to follow the law. She was in the Oval Office during last week's "impassioned" White House meeting on DACA where Mr. Trump reportedly described African nations with vulgar language. "CBS This Morning" co-host John Dickerson asked Nielsen about the meeting and the president's views on immigration.

Errol Barnett is traveling with the president in Florida and joins CBSN from West Palm Beach to discuss the latest.
DACA deal dead?
The immigration debate in Congress has stalled after President Trump allegedly referred to several countries as "sh*tholes" during a recent Oval Office meeting.

DACA showdown
Theresa Cardinal Brown, director of immigration and cross-border policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center, joins “CBS This Morning: Saturday” from Washington to discuss the likelihood that there will be bipartisan accord on immigration, what's at stake for Dreamers and those with temporary protected status and why some people are already losing their status.
