In the CNMI, lawmakers are split on the governor's plan to sue the U.S. government over the immigration federalisation law.

Members of the House of Representatives failed to reach an agreement yesterday on whether to adopt a resolution to back the Governor to stop the move.

After a lengthy debate, the House decided to refer the resolution to the House Judiciary and Government Operations for further review.
