Politico reports that Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is trying to cut Senator Tom Cotton out of any future immigration negotiations:

There seems to be something about the Arkansas Republican that especially angers them, and they’re not shy about letting Trump know.

This is good. Trump and the congressional Pubs need to hang tough to get anything done. Cotton has enough backbone for it.
