Fox News reporter Peter Doocy questions the Biden administration's decision to fill gaps in the Arizona border wall despite previous promises not to build "another foot." Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insists the administration is "cleaning up the mess" rather than finishing the wall.

Representative Jackie Speier led bipartisan legislation to amend the Congressional Accountability Act, requiring members of Congress to pay for sexual harassment settlements personally rather than using taxpayer funds. The bill also aims to eliminate non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) for accusers and requires claims to be made under oath.

The Daily Caller reports on a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) program that uses taxpayer dollars to fly children from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to the United States.

The program offers eligible children access to education, healthcare, and food stamps upon arrival.
