BUFFALO, N.Y. — Congressman Chris Jacobs is calling for transparency on reopening deliberations and a plan to allow families to reunite on June 22 of this month when the current travel restrictions expire.
"This uncertainty has gone on for far too long and it is inconsiderate and unacceptable that there is no plan developed to allow families to reunite," Jacobs said.
During an event Sunday at the Lewiston-Queenston bridge, Jacobs was joined by local families who have been separated by the border.
