[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity John Burnett ? We have some news now on how the Trump administration is pushing back against illegal immigration. The administration has for months talked about separating immigrant families at the border as a way of discouraging them from coming in the first place. A federal lawsuit filed on Monday says federal agents are increasingly doing that  and the idea has outraged activists. The plaintiff is an undocumented Congolese woman who's being detained in San Diego while her 7-year-old daughter is being held 2 000 miles away at a shelter in Chicago.  NPR's John Burnett  has the story.
 JOHN BURNETT   BYLINE: In recent years  the Department of Homeland Security has attempted to discourage asylum-seekers from coming to the U.S. Under Obama  they detained some unauthorized families in camps in South Texas rather than release them in the U.S. while their cases are heard. The Trump administration has gone even further. It has arrested immigrant parents in the U.S. who paid smugglers to bring their children across the border  and it wants to expand detention space. Now comes the most extreme measure yet  family separation.
 BURNETT : That's Lee Gelernt  deputy director of the ACLU's National Immigrant Rights Project. He's representing a 39-year-old mother who traveled from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Mexico with her 7-year-old daughter. They surrendered to immigration agents near San Diego in December. They said they were fleeing violence in Congo and asked for asylum. She's being held apart from her daughter. They're only able to speak by phone.
 BURNETT : A spokeswoman for Homeland Security declined to give a reason why the child was taken from her mother  saying only the agency does not comment on cases under litigation. The practice of separating undocumented families to discourage them from coming is not a formal stated policy of the administration  but immigrant activists say it's been quietly growing in frequency along the Southern border. Katharina Obser is with the Women's Refugee Commission.
 BURNETT : Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services has documented 53 incidents of family separation in the last nine months  mostly Central Americans. They say they're fleeing rampant gang violence. But the administration believes most of them are gaming the system  and it wants to stop the flow  first  because the trek is dangerous for young children. And  second  Matt Al Bent's  an official with ICE removal operations  told NPR...
 BURNETT : Immigration lawyers say the strategy could work. Mothers may drop their cases and go home to be reunited with their children. But is that a reasonable way to curtail illegal immigration? Dr. Lisa Fortuna  director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Boston Medical Center  is an expert on the impact of trauma on immigrant families. She's submitting an amicus brief in the ACLU lawsuit.
 BURNETT : The lawsuit claims that immigration agents violated the Congolese woman's constitutional right to due process. It asks the government  if it's going to detain a mother and child during the asylum process  at least allow them to be together.  John Burnett   NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR  Copyright NPR.

[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Janet Yellen ? Investors had all but ruled out a rate hike at the central bank’s policy meeting this week and attention has largely been focused on who will be in charge of monetary policy at the end of Fed Chair  Janet Yellen ’s first term in February 2018.
President Donald Trump is set to announce his nomination on Thursday afternoon with Fed Governor Jerome Powell  a soft-spoken centrist who has supported  Yellen ’s gradual approach to raising rates  seen as having a lock on the job.

Nevertheless   Yellen  and some other key policymakers have said the Fed still expects to continue to gradually raise rates given the strength of the overall economy. In its statement  the central bank reiterated it expects inflation to rise back to its target over the medium term and emphasized that the unemployment rate has declined further.

[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity John McCain ? Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) makes  his  way to a meeting in Washington about the tax bill on Dec. 1. (Photo by Bill OâLeary/The Washington Post)
 Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)  has been admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for recovery from the side effects of another round of treatment for brain cancer  according to  his  office.
 McCain   who missed a third straight day of Senate votes Wednesday  has been undergoing rounds of chemotherapy and radiation to treat glioblastoma  the terminal form of brain cancer he was diagnosed with in July.  McCain  has been undergoing treatments since early September at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda  next to Walter Reed.

Republican leaders expect to hold a vote early next week on the sweeping tax-cut plan that is currently in a House-Senate negotiation. The Senate version initially passed with 51 votes. If  McCain  missed the vote on final passage  Republicans would not be able to afford a single additional defection or absence to pass the legislation.
â Senator McCain  is currently receiving treatment at Walter Reed Medical Center for normal side effects of  his  ongoing cancer therapy â  his  office said in a statement. âAs ever   he  remains grateful to  his  physicians for their excellent care  and  his  friends and supporters for their encouragement and good wishes.â
