border_tunnels_63147.jpg

FILE - This Oct. 24, 2016, file photo released by Mexico's Attorney General's Office shows a tunnel that authorities say starts in Tijuana, Mexico, and leads to the United States border. U.S. officials say Mexico's failure to fully seal up border tunnels dug by drug smugglers poses a security risk and is an "open invitation" for Mexican cartels to dig new tunnels. On the U.S. side, drug tunnels have been filled with concrete since 2007, after the Los Angeles Times reported that they were being left unfilled because of budget constraints at Customs and Border Protection. Mexican authorities say they lack the funds to fill the tunnels completely on their side. (Mexico's Attorney General's Office via AP, File)

lotter-death_penalty_challenge_29078.jpg

File-This Wednesday, Feb. 21, 1996 file photo shows John Lotter, center, being escorted from the Richardson County Courthouse in Falls City, Neb., after being sentenced to death for the December 1993 murders of Teena Brandon, Phillip DeVine and Lisa Lambert, a crime that inspired the movie "Boys Don't Cry". Attorneys for Lotter argue that he had a right to have jurors, not judges, weigh his fate when he was sentenced to death in 1996. The attorneys cite a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year that struck down Florida’s death penalty process, saying it gave too much power to judges to make the ultimate decision. After that ruling, Delaware’s high court followed suit and threw out that state’s death penalty-determining method. (Eric Keith/The St. Joseph News-Press via AP, File)
