LOS ANGELES (AP) — The vast majority of immigrant children who arrive alone at the U.S. border are placed by the government with adults who are in the country illegally, federal data reviewed by The Associated Press show.
The government has long said that it places the children with family and friends regardless of immigration status. But since more children began arriving on the border in 2014, officials have not revealed how often those sponsors lack legal papers.
NEW YORK (AP) — Competing on their home turf, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton aimed to emerge victorious from Tuesday's primaries in New York, contests that offer big delegate hauls and an opportunity for the front-runners to push closer to their parties' nominations.
Even before the New York results were in, Clinton's campaign was declaring the year's Democratic race virtually over and warning rival Bernie Sanders that he risks damaging the eventual nominee if he keeps up harsh criticism of the former secretary of state.
