House Democrats Call on Congress to Back Migrant Aid Bill


PBS NewsHour: House Democrats called on fellow lawmakers to support a bill that would provide $4.5 billion in additional funding to care for migrants who are detained near the U.S.-Mexico border. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, Rep. Katherine Clark and Rep. Veronica Escobar urged Republicans to vote with them to approve the measure on June 25. The White House has threatened to veto the bill, which it says includes too many restrictions on border enforcement.
