JUNE 16, 2018 (2x39)

Air date: Jun 16, 2018

This week on Matter of Fact, Soledad O’Brien sits down with Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), who visited a group of asylum-seeking mothers whose children were taken from them at the Mexican border. She tells Soledad O’Brien what she heard from those women and why she says neither House immigration bill is a viable solution. Then, meet Christy Coleman, the African-American woman in charge of preserving the confederacy. Correspondent Jessica Gomez traveled to Richmond, VA to hear her story. And, a multi-state court battle could repeal the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Rep. Tom Reed (R-NY), who supports repealing and replacing the law, calls this a mistake and says it would impact his own family.
