Brown, Portman To Visit U.S. Detention Facilities

WCBE files

Ohio's two U.S. Senators say they will travel this weekend to the Mexico border to visit detention facilities. 

Republican  Rob Portman will be in a bipartisan delegation visting a center in McAllen, Texas while Democrat Sherrod Brown will be in a separate group visiting a center in El Paso.  Both have issued proposals to help, including additional federal resources and expanding the number of refugees allowed to seek asylum. 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
