Appearing on CNN with host Poppy Harlow, Rashida Tlaib, who is running in Michigan to become the first Muslim woman to be elected to Congress, dodged twice when asked if the United States needs border security.
Harlow was concluding her segment when she stated:
You have joined the movement to abolish ICE, many of your fellow Democrats in Congress have, as well. But critics say, “Look, that energizes the Republican base; that energizes the president,” who can point at Democrats and say, “See, you don’t care about border security.”What’s your reaction to that?– READ MORE

It was only then that minors were separated from their parents, since they couldn’t be placed in jail together. – READ MORE
