Migrants face dangers of the Darien Gap

The U.S. has expelled more than 6,000 Haitian migrants in the last 12 days, preventing them from having the chance to seek asylum. Many of them got to the U.S. border by traveling through the Darien Gap, a treacherous stretch of land connecting Central and South America. CBSN correspondent and executive producer of our CBSN Originals documentaries, Adam Yamaguchi, has reported from the region and he spoke with Tanya Rivero about the dangers of Darien Gap.

Democrat criticizes response to migrant camp

The Biden administration's special envoy to Haiti resigned following the expulsions of Haitian migrants to their home country. Thousands of migrants have been camping under a bridge on the southern border in Texas for several days, and the White House now says horses will no longer be used at the Del Rio border after video footage showed agents aggressively dispersing Haitians. Congressman Andy Levin, a Democrat from Michigan, joined CBSN's Tanya Rivero to discuss that and efforts to raise the U.S. debt ceiling and keep the federal government from shutting down.
