Yvette Clarke, U.S. representative (D-NY 9) representing Crown Heights and other Central Brooklyn neighborhoods, and Hakeem Jeffries, U.S. representative (D-NY 8), discuss the national political news of the day -- including the president's recent tweets on immigration and trade, midterm elections (and special elections) and the local news from Congresswoman Clarke's district, where an unarmed man was shot and killed by the police yesterday afternoon.
@RepYvetteClarke expresses sympathy for the many members of her district's community who had to witness the police shooting of Saheed Vassell yesterday afternoon.

@RepYvetteClarke says she's hearing several different takes on what took place + is awaiting official word from the NYPD. But her initial inclination is it seems like officers don't have appropriate training to assess threat + determine best course of action quickly.

@RepYvetteClarke says a bi-partisan immigration bill is in the House + she believes they have enough members to pass it; the problem is the White House + to some degree the Senate just won't support it.

@RepJeffries says he believes Democrats have a real chance of taking back control of the House of Representatives in November; cites the enthusiasm he's seeing around the country + Dems winning special elections.
