Senator on misinformation and immigration

New Mexico Senator Ben Ray Luján co-sponsored legislation that aims to hold social media companies accountable for allowing misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines on their platforms. He's also one of 11 Democratic lawmakers meeting with President Biden on Thursday to discuss the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals immigration program known as DACA. The first-term senator spoke with CBSN's Tanya Rivero about what he's working on in Washington.

DACA recipient allowed to go to Olympics

A track star at Northern Arizona University will get to live his Olympic dreams after all. Luis Grijalva qualified for the Olympics earlier this summer to represent Guatemala, but he soon realized getting to Tokyo would be tough because he is DACA recipient. Normally, DACA recipients who leave the U.S. are not permitted to return. Grijalva spent the last several weeks petitioning the U.S. government and yesterday, he received word he can go to Tokyo.

Judge rules to halt DACA

Democrats are under pressure to take action after a federal judge in Texas on Friday ruled that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program is illegal. The program protects hundreds of immigrants brought to the U.S. as children from deportation. The new ruling bars the government from accepting new applications to the program, but does not impact those who are already recipients. CBSN political contributor and White House reporter for The Associated Press Zeke Miller joins CBSN's Lana Zak with more on the judge's justification for that ruling and the latest on the controversial audit of 2020 ballots in Arizona.
