WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — An advocacy group has announced plans to try to recall a Sedgwick County commissioner who wants people in the U.S. illegally from participating in a federal nutrition program in Kansas.

The Wichita Eagle  reports the Immigration Advocacy Network announced Monday it’ll seek to recall Sedgwick County Commission Chair Richard Ranzau over his positions on health care and immigration. Sandrine Lisk, director of advocacy for the group, says they’ll apply within the week for a petition seeking Ranzau’s recall.

Ranzau sent a letter to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment recently asking that Kansas participants in the the federal food program called, Women, Infants and Children, be limited to “United States citizens, nationals and qualified aliens.”

Ranzau says a potential recall won’t affect his positions on WIC.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge has denied an Obama administration request for a quick appeal in a legal challenge House Republicans have brought against the president’s health care law.

U.S. District Court Judge Rosemary M. Collyer ruled last month that the House can pursue its claim that the administration is unconstitutionally spending money Congress has not appropriated for the health law.

On Monday, she denied an administration request to swiftly appeal her ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

The administration says it’s using previously approved money. It says the courts should not get involved in a political dispute between the legislative and executive branches.

At stake is $175 billion the government is reimbursing health insurers over a decade to reduce co-payments for lower-income people.
