FILE - In this July 17, 2013, file photo, David Renz, 29, right, stands next to his defense attorney Ken Moynihan in Onondaga County Court in Syracuse, N.Y. A young girl raped by Renz, who was released from jail while awaiting a child pornography trial is suing the federal government for $110 million. A lawyer representing David Renz's victim says in court papers the U.S. Probation Office failed to follow its own policies for monitoring a criminal defendant released with an electronic ankle bracelet in the months before the attack last March. The suit claims that allowed Renz to rape the 10-year-old suburban Syracuse girl and kill her mother. (AP Photo/The Syracuse Newspapers, Post-Standard, Dick Blume)

FILE - This July 28, 2011 file photo shows Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., left, on Capitol Hill in Washington. House Republicans are pushing a plan to give young immigrants brought to the country illegally by their parents a path to resident status if they join the U.S. military. Rep. Jeff Denham of California said Friday he would press for a vote on his legislation either as a free-standing bill or as an addition to the defense authorization measure that the House will consider in May.
