Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is demanding answers about why thousands of undocumented children are being housed by the Department of Homeland Security in an Arizonan warehouse. Critics contend the thousands of families are abandoned without food or water after a short detention at the DHS facility. The US Border Patrol began sending children and their mothers caught illegally crossing the US-Mexico border to Nogales, Ariz. RT's Lindsay France discusses the plight of the undocumented workers with Pramila Jayapal, co-chair of We Belong Together.

District Attorneys in Santa Clara and Orange County California have teamed up to file a lawsuit against major pharmaceutical manufacturers for promoting the sale of highly addictive opioid medications such as Oxycotton and Percocet.

Of those, 22,000 passed away. RT Correspondent Meghan Lopez takes a closer look at the culture of prescription and addiction and the lawsuit to combat the trend.
