WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump (all times local):

President Donald Trump is signing two executive orders in keeping with campaign promises to boost border security and crack down on immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.

The president signed the two orders Wednesday during a ceremony at the Department of Homeland Security.

The executive orders jumpstart construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall, one of his signature campaign promises, and strip funding for so-called sanctuary cities, which don’t arrest or detain immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Federal civil rights lawsuits involving two fatal shootings by Wichita police officers have been dismissed.

The suits were brought by the families of 24-year-old Troy Lanning II and 45-year-old Karen Jackson, who were both killed by police separately in 2012. Both lawsuits accuse the city of Wichita and the involved police officers of violating the victims’ constitutional rights against the use of excessive force.

Lanning, who was unarmed, was shot six times during a foot chase that came after a report of a possible drive-by shooting. The judge says the plaintiff failed to show violations by the officer of “clearly established law.”

Jackson was shot after walking toward two officers with a butcher knife, stabbing herself and calling on them to fire. The judge says those officers could have reasonably believed their actions were justified.

KANSAS CITY -A man appeared in federal court in Kansas City, Kan. Monday on charges he and his accomplices scammed desperate homeowners with false promises to help them save their homes, according to U.S. Attorney for Kansas Tom Beall.

A federal indictment alleges the defendants used the U.S. Postal Service and the Internet to target victims with financial problems.

Tyler Korn, 27, is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud, two counts of mail fraud, and five counts of wire fraud.

Co-defendants Amjad Daoud, 32, Lutz, Fla., and Ruby Price, 72, Bonner Springs, Kan., already have appeared in federal court in in the case.

The indictment alleges Korn and Daoud used the address of a UPS store in Overland Park, Kan., to form Reliant Home Financial Group, a company they operated out of the St. Louis metro area. Price operated The Arize Group from rented space in Overland Park. Together, they devised a scheme to defraud homeowners with false promises of protecting them from foreclosure.

The indictment alleges the defendants fraudulently promised the victims to:
— Lower their interest rates.
— Lower their monthly payments
— Help them obtain loan modifications.

When victims received foreclosure notices, the defendants allegedly advised them not to worry about it.

If convicted, Korn faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a fine up to $1 million on each count. The Department of Housing and Urban Development investigated. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jabari Wamble is prosecuting.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kansas man has been ordered to spend eight years in federal prison for his role in a scheme involving hundreds of fraudulent prescriptions used to obtain tens of thousands of pills of the powerful painkiller oxycodone.

Thirty-nine-year-old Gabriel Demaria of Kansas City, Kansas, was sentenced Tuesday. He pleaded guilty last September to participating in a conspiracy spanning more than five years to distribute oxycodone.

Authorities say some conspirators obtained legitimate prescription papers while others would steal prescription pads from local doctors. The defendants then used those fraudulently created prescriptions and stolen identifications to get oxycodone from pharmacies.

Demaria is among six co-defendants, all from Missouri, who have pleaded guilty.

BARTON COUNTY –Law enforcement authorities in Barton County are asking the public to come forward with any information they might have involving a “cold case.”

In 1987, Roberta Mae Klotz was found dead in her home, apparently asphyxiated. Over the years, Detectives from the Great Bend Police Department and Investigators from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation have followed up on numerous leads, but have never been able to make an arrest in the case.

The Department asks that anyone with any information regarding what happened to Ms. Klotz contact the Great Bend Police Department at 620-793- 4120 or Crimestoppers at 620-792- 1300. An attached flyer contains further information regarding the case.

Chief Cliff Couch, of the Great Bend Police Department, said “this case is very old, but time doesn’t negate the harm done by the perpetrator. Children had to grow up without a mother, and others have spent the years since without their friend or family member. Although time makes solving this case ever more difficult, finding justice for Ms. Klotz remains as important as ever. We’d ask anyone with information about what happened that day to consider this and come forward to help us.”

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — A judge has found sufficient evidence for a Hutchinson man to stand trial in a deadly wreck.

Twenty-five-year-old Everette Hardy was bound over Monday for trial on an involuntary manslaughter charge in the May 2016 crash. Eighty-year-old John “Jack” Johnson, of Hutchinson, died about three weeks later.

The prosecution argued that Hardy had accelerated in an effort to beat oncoming traffic at an intersection. After being struck in the passenger-side door, Johnson’s truck slammed into a nearby utility pole and came to rest partially atop the back of Hardy’s car.

A state trooper testified that Hardy pushed the accelerator nearly to the floor one second before impact. Surveillance video also showed Hardy’s vehicle run the stop sign beforehand.

Arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 6.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP)-€” The American Civil Liberties Union is asking a federal court to force Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach to turn over proposed changes to the nation’s voter registration law.

It’s being sought as part of the ACLU’s lawsuit challenging Kansas’ proof-of-citizenship voter registration law. The ACLU filed its request Monday.

Kobach was photographed bringing the proposal to a meeting with Donald Trump in November. But the plan was partially obscured by Kobach’s arm and hand in the photograph that The Associated Press took.

The ACLU contends the proposal is relevant to its lawsuit, citing lobbying by Kobach to change central provisions of the National Voter Registration Act.

Kobach argues that it’s subject to “executive privilege” because he was on the transition team advising Trump.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Gov. Sam Brownback has called a special election for April 11 to fill the 4th Congressional District seat previously held by CIA Director Mike Pompeo.

Brownback signed the necessary document Tuesday, the day after the U.S. Senate confirmed Pompeo’s appointment by President Donald Trump.

The governor’s action officially kicks off an already crowded race to replace Pompeo in the south-central Kansas district that includes Wichita. At least six Republicans and three Democrats might seek the seat.

The Republicans include State Treasurer Ron Estes, former congressman Todd Tiahrt and Trump campaign official Alan Cobb. The Democrats include former State Treasurer Dennis McKinney.

Republicans and Democrats must have district conventions by Feb. 18 to pick their nominees.

It will be the state’s first special congressional election since 1950.

WICHITA -Two Kansas men pleaded guilty Monday of brandishing or aiding and abetting another robber who brandished a firearm during a bank robbery, according to U.S. Attorney Tom Beall.

Raishat McGill, 35, Wichita and Elijah Shelton, 25, both of Wichita pleaded guilty to one count each of brandishing a firearm in a crime of violence. In their pleas, they admitted that on June 13, 2016, they robbed the Carson Bank at 4461 E. Douglas in Wichita.

On that day, two individuals who were disguised entered the bank, one of them brandishing a firearm. The robbers demanded and received money before fleeing. The money they received contained a global positioning device that police used to track the defendants and arrest them.

McGill and Shelton are set for sentencing April 13. In both cases, the parties have agreed to recommend a sentence of 84 months in federal prison. Earlier this month, co-defendant Andre Bryant, 30, Wichita, Kan., pleaded guilty to the same charge. He is set for sentencing April 10.
