Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar says his department is about to run out of money to house migrant children. The House is voting today on appropriating that money. However, Congressional Democrats and the White House are at odds over how to increase funding.

Meanwhile, John Sanders, the acting commissioner of Customs and Border Patrol, is resigning.

And today, 100 kids who were moved from an overcrowded border patrol station in Clint, Texas were moved back because there wasn’t room for them.
