Scoop: Dream Act Petition One Signature Away From Forcing a House Vote Discharge Petition No. 25 has reached 217 signatures on the American Dream and Promise Act. The 218th has to be a Republican. Pablo Manríquez Sep 2 WASHINGTON — They sign it by hand.

The order was first flagged Thursday by POLITICO’s ace courts reporter Kyle Cheney. The government’s core argument was simple: don’t blame us, blame GEO Group , the private prison compa...
