## Resource

Questions are swirling after the Houston ICE shooting, including why the agents reportedly weren't wearing body cameras. Joe Pags explains what he says is the real reason and why politics played a role. He also reacts to reports that Mitch McConnell is hospitalized in rehab, asking why Americans are expected to accept so few details when transparency was demanded of leaders like Lloyd Austin and Joe Biden. Pags shares his own experience publicly discussing his cancer diagnosis and argues elected officials owe the public honesty. Plus, President Trump says he'll ask the Supreme Court to rehear the birthright citizenship case. Then, Ali Bradley joins to separate fact from fiction in the Houston case, provide the latest on ICE deportations and border security, explain what's happening with the border wall, and break down the growing issue of birth tourism.
