New York (CNN Business) Rep. Ilhan Omar wants the media to change the way it covers immigration. As of Saturday, more than 5,000 unaccompanied children were in US Customs and Border Protection custody, according to documents obtained by CNN. This news comes as President Joe Biden's administration attempts to quickly devise solutions to address the evolving immigration situation. The media largely has focused on the number of unaccompanied children at the border. But Omar is urging media outlets to address the root causes of the immigration crisis and focus on "cruel and contradictory" foreign policies.
