House passes emergency border aid bill amid anger over treatment of migrant children

The House passes a bill to send $4.5 billion in emergency aid to the southern border.
The Senate is expected to pass its own version of the bill, while the White House has threatened to veto both pieces of legislation.
The measure‘s passage comes as the Trump administration faces backlash over the treatment of migrant children at a Texas detention facility.
