International effort. Con temporary to contrary to what mentioned earlier about the United States, outside this country, internationally, particularly in the large Human Trafficking concentrated areas, like the asiapacific region, the focus needs to be more on restoration, rescue as well, but there seems to be perhaps lack of focused efforts in helping these individuals have a focus and purpose in life and bringing them back to a normal life, which is extremely critical, and so our focus in the International Sector is from the restoration perspective. So is a come back to our work in the United States, and back to your question, david, maybe, take for example; i start with anthems work, large healthcare company. We touch many communities, many institutions, many healthcare providers, so as an organization, we understand the unique opportunity we have in this space. When you look at the fight that we have against this evil, it starts with identification. It also includes rescue. It incl
As we heat up this afternoon, well see scattered showers and thunderstorms redevelop by the afternoon and into the evening. So temperatures will be a little bit lower today in the upper 80s. Still warm and sticky through the afternoon. Well talk about more thunderstorms for tomorrow. Larry, over to you. Thanks, allyson. Everything still running on schedule. Buses and trains, good news there. Its 395, the northbound side that we have some trouble. For those of you going through that area, want to let you know two thru lanes on the northbound side of i395 are closed as a result of an accident. One of our web producers is actually making her way up this area. She took a picture for us that she posted on twitter to show us the situation there. So you can see not only emergency crews, tow trucks but the situation. Were seeing delays all the way from shirlington circle. Heres a live look from our camera now. You can see all lanes pretty much crawling for the most part. You can account for th
Secretary thomas perez. Then Homeland Security secretary jeh johnson at a house hearing on Immigration Enforcement. After that, president obama talks with reporters about the Iran Nuclear Deal and other issues. This week on newsmakers, u. S. Secretary of labor, her as. Thank you for being here. We also have melanie trottman, labor reporter with the wall street journal, and Lydia Depillis of the washington post. Radio will go first. Lydia a lot of the news is on the minimum wage and there is a strong push for 15 to be the base. In places that are not coastal cities like new york or los angeles, and you think is appropriate for them are went they do themselves damaged by the going to that level . Secretary perez i applaud the effort state and local levels are trying to raise and wage. No one should have to live in poverty while they are working. That is the reality because of the daily of the Republican Leadership to work on the minimum wage. The president has been vocal in his support o
Issue of how we deal with the criminal illegal alien population, and also with the sanctuary cindies. Ihank mr. Hunter for the work that he has cities. I thank mr. Hunter for the work he has done on this bill. I chuckled when congressman king , the gentleman from iowa, mentioned the Second Generation of hunters. Because, yes, we do know that his father was very involved in this issue, and focusing on making certa that we keep our cities safe. You know, as we have this debate, and as we look at these sanctuary city policies that certain counties and cities and states have exercised, weve come to realize that through the years, every states become a border state and every town a border town. Because of the criminal, illegal alien population that will gravitate towa these sanctuary citie. L. A. Los angeles was the first sact wear city in 1979. We hear people say oh, this is an issue thats been around for a long time. Mr. Speaker, that does not mean you do not address t issue. It means you

R. 3009, the enforce the law for sanctuary cities act. This thoroughly flawed measure is a blatant attempt by the most of the majority to insert its antiimmigrant status agenda into local policing initiatives. And it does this by prohibiting state and local governments from receiving critical criminal justice funds if they have policies that prioritize Public Safety and Community Policing over federal Immigration Enforcement.
