The president proposed his case for immigration reform Tuesday in Las Vegas, NV, a day after a group of senators announced their plan for it. The plan will lay out a path that allows citizenship for an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants. The move reflects the growing influence of Hispanic voters in the nation. The president championed the proposal of four Democratic senators and four Republican senators, referring to it as the first time in many years that Democrats and Republicans are prepared to approach the problem together. The president also noted that the undocumented workers believed to be in the U.S. were already assimilated in the U.S., and there are economic imperatives for reform.

An estimated 200,000 people may be interned in North Korea’s network of political prison camps. Google used a community of citizen cartographers over a period of years to pinpoint road and place names.
