CNN’s Dobbs Takes Border, Middle Class, Drug Issues to Mississippi, D.C.
CNN Pressroom - Lou Dobbs Reports, Hosts Forums from Tuesday, March 27, to Thursday, March 29
CNN anchor Lou Dobbs takes several of the nation’s hot-button issues – immigration, addiction crisis and the war on the middle class – to the American public next week with a series of prime-time special reports, in addition to his regularly scheduled broadcasts. Dobbs investigates controversial prosecution of two U.S. Border Patrol agents on Tuesday, March 27, and follows that up with two live forums from Washington, D.C., on America’s abuse and addiction to drugs and alcohol and the war on the middle class.
On Tuesday, Dobbs will travel to the federal correctional facility in Yazoo City, Miss., to continue his reporting on Jose Campeon and Ignacio Ramos, two former U.S. Border Patrol agents found guilty of shooting and wounding a Mexican drug smuggler attempting to cross the border in 2005. Dobbs investigates the controversial prosecution as well as claims that Ramos was beaten in jail. Dobbs examines the effort of U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) to pass legislation that would pardon Ramos.
Dobbs then travels to Washington, D.C., to continue his national dialogue on the state of drug and alcohol abuse in the United States and the war on the middle class. Before a live audience at George Washington University on Wednesday, Dobbs – as part of his on-going “The War Within” series – discusses the fight against drug addiction and alcohol abuse. On Thursday, Dobbs will discuss health care, education, taxes and other issues impacting the middle class as part of “The War on the Middle Class” forum.
These special reports will all air on CNN/U.S. at 8 p.m. (ET) on their respective days. Lou Dobbs Tonight airs each weekday at 6 p.m. (ET) on CNN/U.S.
