Texas Governor Greg Abbott held a news conference in Austin, Texas, on Friday. He assured residents that "There's plenty of gasoline."

Harvey shut down about a quarter of the U.S. refinery capacity, much of which is clustered along the Gulf coast and caused gasoline prices to spike to a nearly two-year high ahead of the long Labor Day holiday weekend.

The program known as DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, is the 2012 Obama administration policy that protects children of undocumented immigrants who entered the United States illegally.
The Trump administration faces a September 5 deadline for decision set by a group of state attorneys grappling with the issues in their states.
DACA has given nearly 800,000 people a reprieve from deportation by providing two-year, renewable work permits for eligible applicants.

The 59-year-old Ortega has said she would give details of the corruption cases to authorities in the United States, Spain, Mexico, Brazil and Colombia.
