The coalition consists of representatives of districts along the U.S. \u2013 Canada border sounding the alarm on the lack of resources for agents protecting the world\u2019s longest international border.\n\nThe rollout included a letter to Secretary Mayorkas calling for immediate aide to troops experiencing overwhelming apprehension numbers and no additional assistance coming from DHS.\n\n\u201cThe first thing bad guys do is go where the good guys aren\u2019t. Right now, all our good guys are dealing with Biden\u2019s crisis on the Southwest border leaving the north unprotected and vulnerable to criminals, cartels, and terrorists,\u201d Zinke said. \u201cBy establishing this caucus, we will provide critical oversight and expose the truth to the American people about the nationwide crisis this administration has willingly caused.\u201d\n\nBackground:", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T23:18:08Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://zinke.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-zinke-takes-lead-securing-northern-border"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8465060964226723, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
