current event.

1.  Donald McGahn is 50 years old.
2.  50,000 people showed up in 2017 at the Texas Book Festival.
3.  He plans to make 14,000 cars next year.
4. Junior high in Fairfield Calif. High school game Wellington, Fla.
5. I would not go to any of them because thats not my way of having fun, I would much rather chill on a field on a quiet night. 

1.  The reason that some people aren't able to renew their passports is because the Trump administration is accusing many people of using fraud birth certificates. In some cases some people with real birth certificates are being jailed in immigration detention.
2. Juan said he served for his country and fought for his country. He was very upset by this. he was an American since he was a child.
3.  The U.S. Is not letting them renew a new passport if they think they are frauds. But they are not taking the one right away that they currently own. 
4. I think that the trouble is already done with. I think they should seek to prevent it rather than try to dig the other people up and throw them out from their families and homes. I would like to keep the people even if they had a fake birth certificate because they had no control of the situation.
