WASHINGTON – A House panel grilled administration officials Thursday over migrant family separations and conditions at border detention facilities, but the hearing produced more partisan sparks than answers.
Both sides at the House Judiciary Committee hearing said the situation at the border has reached crisis levels – but they agreed on little else.
Republicans accused Democrats of holding just another in a series of hearings aimed at political gain and not at finding solutions.
WASHINGTON - A week ago, Arizona Congressman Greg Stanton toured an emergency child crisis center in Phoenix. It was his first look at a facility where the Border Patrol sends undocumented children five and younger to stay after they have been separated from their families.
President Trump and his Republican apologists - including his defense lawyer who moonlights as the nation's attorney general - do not believe a single word they have said about former special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's report. The GOP has claimed that it shows "no collusion, no obstruction." But Republicans' behavior at Wednesday's hearings, not to mention Mueller's own words, prove they have been lying.
PHOENIX - Three Arizona members of Congress were among the House Judiciary Committee members who questioned special counsel Robert Mueller on Wednesday.
Mueller, who previously said his report on the investigation was his testimony, faced congressional hearings on his 448-page report, the result of his two-year Russia probe.
PHOENIX - Congressman Greg Stanton spent an hour at an emergency child care facility in Phoenix Friday.
It's where at least a dozen children, ranging in age from infants to five years old, were taken after immigration authorities separated them from their families.
PHOENIX - With no fanfare, the Trump administration is quietly placing very young children with the Arizona Child Crisis Center. U.S. officials maintain the children arrived at the border unaccompanied, but immigration activists accuse immigration authorities of separating the children from family members.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the House Energy and Commerce Committee passed H.R. 2088, a bill introduced by Rep. Greg Stanton (AZ-09) and Rep. Marc Veasey (TX-33) earlier this year, to reauthorize and increase funding for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG). This legislation provides the EECBG program with $3.5 billion annually for the next five years to provide states, local governments, and Indian tribes assistance to reduce fossil fuel emissions and conserve energy.
Arizona's U.S. House delegation split along party lines Tuesday on a resolution condemning President Donald Trump for racist tweets Sunday about four minority Democratic congresswomen.
The anti-climactic result only hinted at a day of heightened partisan rancor in which members openly accused their opponents of being anti-American or of supporting racism.
