announcement from the trump administration. how it's using the rockville rape case as an example of its immigration policy, and how that's going to impact your tax dollars. now that the health care fight is over, what's next on the president's agenda? nbc news senior political editor mark murray will join us to break it down for you. and we're tracking showers on the storm team 4 radar. depending on where you live, you could see some rain tonight. we'll tell you who is going to see showers, and who won't. you're watching news4 at 4:00. first at 4:00, the recent rape case at rockville high school was a topic of conversation at the daily white house press briefing. jeff sessions spoke at the briefing, announcing a crackdown on sanctuary cities. during his comments, sessions begged people of maryland to reject any efforts to protect undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes. >> well, you

talking about a state law to make the state a sanctuary state. the governor is opposed to that, i'm glad to hear. that would be such a mistake. i would plead with the people of maryland to understand that this makes the state of maryland more at risk for violence and crime. >> white house press secretary sean spicer has also commented about the rockville case. you can see what he had to say on the nbc washington app. search spicer rockville. a woman from skealt has been arrested three times outside the white house in the past week alone. now she's behind bars, and a judge has ordered her to stay there until a court appearance coming up. scott macfarlane and the news4 team have tracked white house security and joins us now in the newsroom. >> the secret service said 38-year-old wahl scaled the fence and a judg o

stay away from the white house. they caught her scaling the fence again sunday. late this afternoon, a judshe f jail time including contempt of courts for violating orders to stay away from the white house. she told agents she was motivated by the successes of other recent fence jumpers. in her first attempt, the secret service says she was found dangling on the fence by her shoelaces. yesterday morning, investigators say they found her with maps of the white house grounds on her person. and they say she told secret service agents, i feel like i'm supposed to be here right now. she said she wanted to meet with the president. and later told agents she'd ask her state senator to help arrange such a meeting. she's in custody of u.s. marshalls in d.c. until at least april 3rd, and she

more charges tomorrow. chris? >> thank you, scotty. by all accounts, last week was a tough one for the trump administration. but the president is trying to turn the page from that stunning collapse on health care. >> mark murray is here now to talk about the next big policy fight. mark, the failure of the health care bill, will that make it tougher to pass tax reform? and do you think there will be similar rifts among the republicans? >> i do think it makes it tougher. because it already shows the fraktdures and the challenges ahead for the trump administration. over the next three or four months, the trump white house is going to want to have three big things on their agenda. number one, as you mentioned, tax reform. two is the ability to fund the government, to make sure it doesn't shut down in late april. and then there's the fight to raise the debt limit. as we saw for the health care fight, that the republican party is divided. you end up having a sizeable number of house republicans who kind of

any piece of legislation. so there's the ability, does president trump then reach out to democrats to help get these things across the finish line? but with his approval ratings now at near all-time lows, it will be interesting to see if democrats want to get on board. >> you got to wonder if the incentive is there. thank you very much, mark. well, just days after the repeal and replacement debacle, virginia's governor is taking action. terry mcauliffe has proposed a budget amendment to restore his authority to plan for medicaid expansion. the governor said virginia's failure to expand medicaid has cost the state more than $10 billion. republican leaders in the general assembly say the failure by congress to act changes nothing. that medicaid expansion is still wrong for virginia, and that nearly every state that has expanded it, is seeing huge budget deficits.
