NPR's David Welna reports while the bill is expected to win strong bipartisan support today, its prospects look dim in the GOP-led House. Supporters of this more than thousand-page bill that tightens border control while offering a path to citizenship for millions in the country unlawfully are confident the measure will get a big vote today. Robert Menendez is a New Jersey Democrat. "We are on the verge of historic change, and I'm proud to have been part of the Gang of Eight that hammered out a strong bipartisan effort. " The bill's opponents are all Republicans. John Cornyn of Texas is one of them. “We're about to pass deeply flawed legislation that will not be taken up by the House representatives.” Indeed, House Speaker John Boehner declared today the House won't take up the Senate immigration bill, but will instead be doing its own bill. David Welna, NPR NEWS, the Capitol. Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been indicted on a string of charges, including the deaths of four people and the use of a weapon of mass destruction in April. Today a federal grand jury handed up the 30-count indictment against Tsarnaev. NPR's Tovia Smith reports the 19-year-old faces the death penalty on 17 of the charges. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is charged with carrying out an attack prosecutors say was designed to shred skin, shatter bone and cause extreme pain, suffering and death. More than 260 were injured and three killed. He's also charged with killing an MIT police officer and with conspiracy. US Attorney Carmen Ortiz: “The defendant's alleged conduct forever changed lives. And it is with the victims in this case in mind that we proceed to seek and make sure that justice is served.” The indictment quotes a note allegedly from Tsarnaev.
