‘I’m stuck between loving him and hating him’
For Zachary Cruz, as for so many people in Parkland, Fla., life changed forever on Feb. 14, 2018. His brother, Nikolas Cruz, has confessed to committing one of the most notorious school shootings in American history, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

For the past few months, Post reporter Jessica Contrera has been talking to Zach and asking this fundamental question: After your only living family member commits a horrendous crime, do you walk away?

As a fight over border security kept the government partially closed for more then a month, about a dozen employees at Trump National Golf Club in Westchester County, N.Y., were asked to meet with a human resources executive from Trump Organization headquarters.

Post reporter David Fahrenthold says the employees were fired during those meetings because they were undocumented — though many had been employed at the golf club for years.
