CNN’s Chief White House Correspondent was confronted by a group of “angel moms”—women whose children have been killed by illegal immigrants—after a press conference in the Rose Garden where President Donald Trump declared a national emergency to fund the physical barrier along the U.S.–Mexico border.
Before taking questions from reporters, Trump made his announcement to address the humanitarian crisis on the southwest border. The emergency declaration, combined with a spending bill passed by Congress on Feb. 14, will provide his administration with $8 billion for wall construction.
