This was obviously a suggested live abc news confirming the dissenters administration chartered the planes and the migrants didnt even board in florida. They came from texas today, dissenters defending his move and promising its just the beginning. I mean, these are voluntary transportation that theyre signing up for, but theyre given a good ride. Theyre given everything, and thats just, you know, its a humane thing to do the president calling out to santos for using human beings as political props american, its reckless and we have a process in place to manage migrants at the border. Republican officials should not interfere. With that process by waging a political hes political stance. Paso texas, its clear that process isnt working. Border patrol agents apprehended nearly 1300 people a day in this area is now chartering their own busses to help migrants head north from venezuela. Going to new york city.

Tonight president zelensky, reiterating his call to label russia sponsor of terrorism, something he pushed for last week sitting down with david, the world has seen the atrocities. What does justice look like . I think that those responsible should not just go to hell. No they should have fair trials. Independent trials now we asked the United States to recognize russia countries sponsor of terrorism. Pressed today, the white house saying that labeling russia a sponsor of terrorism, could limit the flow of humanitarian aid into ukraine and acknowledging the horrors easy. Um its horrifying. Its repugnant. And sadly, its in keeping with the kind of depravity in the brutality with which Russian Forces have been prosecuting this war and after that stunning ukrainian offensive that liberated the harkey of region, Vladimir Putin today, admitting he wont achieve his main goal of capturing the entire eastern donbass region anytime soon, defiantly, claiming russia is in no rush.
