Ciscomani vs. Mendoza heats up in CD6 | AZ seeks a $300 million border security reimbursement

from The Press Room · host AZPM

Arizona is asking the federal government for reimbursement funds of about $900 million that it spent border security. And the race for Congressional District 6 is heating up, starting with plenty of mudslinging attack ads by both incumbent rebublican Rep. Juan Ciscomani and his democrat challenger JoAnna Mendoza. Plus, we sit down one-on-one with frequent Press Room contributor John Washington to talk about his new book on immigrant detention camps in the US.
