THE BORDER WALL-KIDS-IMMIGRATION ISSUES…
*With families being separated upon apprehension, President Trump declared the lack of a border wall a “national emergency”. There have since been legal and legislative battles initiated over this.

NOTE: While we are doing our best to provide coverage, the above is a serious, ongoing issue.
