Haitian immigrants sue US government over abuse allegations at the border

Haitian migrants are suing the US government, arguing that immigration officials at the US-Mexico border physically and verbally abused them as they sought to enter the United States.

The World’s Daisy Contreras has more on the lawsuit a group of migrants has just filed.
