Biden policy that protects undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens is on hold. What’s next?

For more on this issue, John Yang speaks with Ashley DeAzevedo, president of American Families United, an advocacy group that backs the program.

Mr. Biden met with first responders, state officials and Floridians affected by the storms and made an aerial tour of the Tampa-St. Petersburg area.
The President announced $612 million for the state to bolster the electrical grid's ability to withstand extreme weather events, and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said she expects the majority of Floridians to have power restored by Tuesday.
That's less than a week after Milton made landfall.
Vice President Harris was in North Carolina today.
She held a rally at East Carolina University in Greenville and attended a church service where she criticized the people spreading disinformation about federal hurricane relief, including former President Trump.
Kamala Harris, U.S. Vice President: Instead of offering hope, there are those who are channeling people's tragedies and sorrows into grievance and hatred, and one may ask why, and I think, sadly, frankly, the motives are quite transparent, to gain some advantage for themselves, to play politics with other people's heartbreak.
And it is unconscionable.
Now is not a time to incite fear.
John Yang: On Fox News, Trump said that as President, he'd use the military to go after what he called internal enemies.
Donald Trump, Former U.S. President: We have two enemies.
We have the outside enemy, and then we have the enemy from within.
And the enemy from within, in my opinion, is more dangerous than China, Russia and all these countries, because if you have a smart president, he can handle them pretty easily.
I handled I got along great with all - why handled them.
John Yang: And on Saturday, a Nevada man with loaded guns was arrested outside Trump's rally in California.
And an engineering feat for SpaceX in Texas today, after the company's starship vehicle lifted off the booster rocket returned to the launch pad and was captured by giant metal arms that guided it into place.
The achievement brings SpaceX closer to its goal of developing a reusable rocket.
Still to come on PBS News Weekend, the future of a program that would protect undocumented spouses from deportation and how the Pentagon is adapting to the growing threat of climate change.
