Many House Republicans say that the special counsel's probe is tainted by political bias and that it will never give Trump a fair shake.

The American Health Care Association, the industry’s main trade group, has complained that under Obama, federal inspectors focused excessively on catching wrongdoing rather than helping nursing homes improve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is critical that we have relief,” Mark Parkinson, the group’s president, wrote in a letter to then-President-elect Donald Trump in December 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2013, nearly 6,500 nursing homes — 4 of every 10 — have been cited at least once for a serious violation, federal records show. Medicare has fined two-thirds of those homes. Common citations include failing to protect residents from avoidable accidents, neglect, mistreatment and bedsores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new guidelines discourage regulators from levying fines in some situations, even when they have resulted in a resident’s death.

It can impose a specific fine for a particular violation. It can assess a fine for each day that a nursing home was in violation. Or it can deny payments for new admissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The average fine in recent years has been $33,453, but 531 nursing homes amassed combined federal fines above $100,000, records show.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated Wednesday, 4:35 p.m.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A federal judge grilled an attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice on Wednesday over the Trump administration's justification for ending a program protecting some young immigrants from deportation, saying many people had come to rely on it and faced a \"real\" and \"palpable\" hardship from its loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge William Alsup said former President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy gave people the chance to work and made them \"contributing, taxpaying members of the economy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Isn't that a huge thing to have so many people being a legitimate part of the economy?\" the judge said at a court hearing in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alsup is considering five lawsuits seeking to block President Trump from rescinding DACA, which has protected about 800,000 people who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children or came with families who overstayed visas. Plaintiffs -- including the state of California -- have asked the judge to halt changes to the program while the case proceeds. Alsup is also considering a government request to dismiss the suits. He did not immediately issue a ruling Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeffrey Davidson, an attorney representing the governing board of the University of California school system, said people took out loans, enrolled in school and even made decisions about whether to get married and start families on the basis of DACA and now face \"horrific\" consequences from the loss of the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The government considered none of this at all when they decided to rescind DACA,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alsup also had tough questions for Davidson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Isn't it true that in our country -- a democracy -- that elections have consequences?\" Alsup asked. Davidson acknowledged that the Trump administration could end the program, but, he said, it must be done in a more methodical way, with documentation showing that results of the change and alternatives had been considered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alsup questioned whether the administration had conducted a thorough review before ending the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brad Rosenberg, a Justice Department attorney, said the administration considered the effects of ending DACA and decided to phase it out over time instead of cutting it immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DACA recipients will be allowed to stay in the U.S. for the remainder of their two-year authorizations. Any recipient whose status was due to expire within six months also got a month to apply for another two-year term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosenberg said DACA was always a temporary measure and never extended any guarantees about the benefits it conferred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Perhaps it is worthwhile for Congress to consider the benefits of providing some form of relief to these individuals,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department said in court documents that DACA was facing the possibility of an abrupt end by court order, but Alsup was critical of that argument.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program includes hundreds of thousands of college-age students commonly referred to as \"Dreamers,\" based on never-passed proposals in Congress called the DREAM Act that would have provided similar protections for young immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fresno resident Deidi Sanchez identified herself as a Dreamer outside the hearing Wednesday. She and other self-identified dreamers who attended the hearing said they felt they were being used as leverage in a congressional debate over immigration enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's just a political game that they're playing and putting our lives and our futures at risk,\" Sanchez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she had earned bachelor's and master's degrees, started a business and recently bought a home.

After the House passed what was believed to be the final version of the bill on Tuesday, Democratic senators challenged provisions relating to education and a technical issue over the naming of the bill. The Senate parliamentarian ruled that they did not fit inside the budget rules that the bill is being passed under, which allow it to be approved by a simple 51-vote majority, bypassing any risk of a Democratic filibuster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.
