They also covered President Trump calling out judges for ruling against his latest attempt to scale back asylum by denying applications to migrants who enter the country between official ports of entry.

They covered Trump's criticism of Chief Justice Roberts for defending the objectivity and impartiality of judges' rulings too.

In addition, they covered Trump's claim that he's given troops at the border authority to use 'lethal force against the migrants', even as the troops are being phased out of their border patrol assistance deployment.

At present, all the news outlets are covering what appears to be the new Mexican government's agreement to detain migrants while their U.S. asylum applications are being processed.  

However, the Mexican federal government has not been providing funding to the city of Tijuana where the 4,500+ migrants are camped out.  So, mayor Gastelum has criticized the federal government's apathy,  declared a humanitarian crisis, and is requesting help from the U.N.'s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

Thy have had a few job fairs but no takers, also 80% of the caravan is dominated by young men 35 yrs old and younger. It is not filled with women and children and is in fact filled with young men. Hmmmm if they don't want jobs and they are not seeking asylum what could they want in the U.S.?

Great point
