Nicole Sandler What's News 07 - 26 - 2018 by Progressive Voices

Extreme weather brings a hot and deadly July to most of the planet; Wildfires force evacuations in the U.S. West, while extreme storms and floods pummel the East Coast; PLUS: Trump and the GOP expand their war on the environment, public lands, and endangered species... All that and more in today's Green News Report!

Today I am joined by Claudia Flores, Immigration Campaign Manager at the Center for American Progress (@claudsDC on Twitter).

We discuss the migrant child crisis caused by the Trump administration's cruel and inhumane policy of separating children from their parents when many of them are simply seeking asylum as they enter the United States at our southern border.
