Excerpt

SUMMARY:  President Trump’s recent verbal attacks on Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md) were sparked by the congressman’s criticism of migrant facilities on the U.S.-Mexico border.  The White House disputed Cummings’ characterizations.  So what do we actually know about what’s going on in these detention centers?  Judy Woodruff talks to the National Immigration Forum’s Ali Noorani about a “lack of transparency.”

Elijah Cummings, and his Maryland district.  Trump called Baltimore “filthy” and “infested,” terms he has used before to refer to urban areas with majority black populations.  Ahead of Trump's rally in southwestern Ohio, Yamiche Alcindor asked voters there what they think of the President’s rhetoric on race.
