On this week's edition of “The Hill with April Ryan,” theGrio’s Washington Bureau Chief and White House Correspondent, April D. Ryan, discusses the uptick in the number of people crossing the U.S.-southern border and rise of immigrants overstaying their visas in the United States. “The Hill” also takes a look at a new challenge to affirmative action, this time against a San Francisco organization that gives stipends to pregnant women in efforts to reduce the disproportionate number of Black women dying in childbirth.

![Running Black: Ex-NFL Player Rep. Allred Could Make History in Texas
For theGrio’s “Running Black” election profile series, Managing Editor of Politics Gerren Keith Gaynor (@MrGerrenalist) chats with Rep. Colin Allred, D-Texas. After serving two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, Allred is seeking the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate. The former professional football player and fourth-generation Texan says he is running for statewide office because the state “can’t afford six more years of [Republican Senator] Ted Cruz.” If elected, Allred would become the first Black American elected to the Senate from the state of Texas, something he says would be “incredibly important” for the state.
