break months long opposition to a bipartisan border security bill. immigration advocates worry the executive order will only worsen the backlog at border crossings and endanger migrants. >> well, we are expecting now is that the biden administration will weaponize what's left of our asylum system to criminalize migrants. >> i think in the end, we end up hurting the very people that we're fighting for. >> president biden is risking legal and political pushback from all sides. the aclu says it plans to challenge the action in court. kumasi >> thank you, amanda. today, the senate will vote on enshrining access to contraceptives across the country. this is called the right to contraceptive contraception act, and it would codify the rights of individuals to access contraception and the right of doctors to provide it. now i need 60 votes to advance. it's coming ahead of the second anniversary of the supreme court striking down federal abortion

rights protections to tell that woman that person, you don't have a right to make a decision about what happens to your body next. >> it's immoral. and i think most of us agree one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree. the government should not be telling her what to do with her body. >> vice president kamala harris appeared on jimmy kimmel last night. she talked about contraceptives and abortion rights. she also talked about the guilty verdict in former president donald trump's criminal hush money trial. >> there was a defense attorney who actively participated in selecting that jury, who actively made decisions about witnesses to call, witnesses to cross-examine and the jury made their decision. and, you know, i think that the reality is cheaters don't like getting caught. and go and being held
