All that and more coming up, but first our top story tonight. They passed obamacaae and now they dont want it. Outrage over Congress Getting a prepass from the law of the land riddled with problems right before skipping town on a fiveweek long vacation. Claiming now, president of the american actions form. Great to have you here. How is this that congress can give us the prescription for health care, health care and then they dont live by it. What do you say . Speaker this is a mess. Take way will be washington takes care of its own and doesnt Pay Attention to us. Obamacare passed, it forced the federal government to drop the employersponsored insurance so unlike every other employer, is one had to go away, dumped the staffers into the Obamacare Exchanges and it barred the federal government from supporting the Health Insurance so you have any kind of a contribution. Gerri like regular americans they only get the money when they deserve the money. There are certain economic thresholds.
We begin on the streets of minneapolis with nbcs shaquille brewster. What has happened since those charges were announced and what is the situation there tonight . Reporter lawrence, a major step forward for anyone who wanted those charges, especially the people here, who since george floyd died at this intersection, theyve come out night after night, sometimes staying overnight. When the charnels weges were an, there was chanting, cheering, songs, prayer. Youre still seeing it now. Sometimes it is somber, sometimes it is exciting. Right now youre seeing people pay their respects in the foreground. Flowers all around. People have notes they come with. They bring their kids, their families. All to pay respects. When that moment came, when the announcement was made, thats when you saw the reaction. It almost turned into a celebratory mood and thats what youre feeling right now as people are milling about, having those conversations and reflecting when they can. Ill tell you, one thing we
These two stories, and youve done a brilliant job, i think, of pulling these two stories together in your hour. It has been such a struggle to keep some kind of focus on coronavirus. Especially as we see these giant crowds assembling, which could all be, well know at the ends of june, what has happened with all that. The possibilities in the protests for infection. Our friend and colleague chris hayes closed out his hour as he tossed to me by saying straight to camera, if you in america have been to one of these protests and youve been around other people, whether or not you were wearing a mask, if you have access to testing, it is a good idea to get tested. I will reiterate to say what he said there. It is good to see people in masks, so many of them at these events, and nobody is going to try to floud the guidelines or deny the coronavirus is serious.

Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus meet with officials. First, perspective here. Perspective you need to hear and one perhaps we have not heard from enough. This is from a person on the front lines, not at the border, but in the immigration courtroom. Joining me is attorney rebeccaal salman, representing more than 1,000 undocumented children in the united states. She works for the access to Law Foundation in atlanta. So rebecca, welcome. Thank you so much. And is that roughly correct . 1,000, 1,000plus kids . We have a floating group of kids that we represent, but we have seen an increase recently.

Let june 23rd go down in our history as our Independence Day he as a message for the future of the European Union. Im thrilled that weve done this. I believe the other big effect of this election is not what happened to britain but the rest of europe, the rest of the eu, other countries vefr talked about leaving the eu now they are. An opinion poll of the netherlands said they want to leave. We maybe close to nnexit and similarly in a majority of there, in favor of leaving. Im told the same may apply to swedingen, austria and italy too. The eu is failing. The eu is dying. I hope we knocked the first brick out of the wall.
