Rep. Brooks says significant resources are still needed to fund additional staff and facilities on the border.

The deadline to reunite families separated under the Trump administration’s "zero tolerance" immigration policy was last week. But as of Friday, hundreds of kids reportedly remained in government custody.

WFYI’s Drew Daudelin sat down with U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks (R-Carmel) to ask what she knows about the situation, how she wants to fix it, and her recent trip to the U.S.-Mexico border.
