2d ago19:09

19:09

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which detains hundreds of thousands of people nationwide, typically says fewer than a dozen detainees die in its custody each year.

The Future of Abortion Part 3: Money 27:39

6d ago27:39

27:39

Roe vs. Wade is expected to be struck down this summer, which would mean abortion will no longer be a federally protected right.
