FILE- This September, 2015 file image made from U.S. Border Patrol surveillance video shows a child crawling on the concrete floor near the bathroom area of a holding cell, and a woman and children wrapped in Mylar sheets at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection station in Douglas, Ariz. A federal judge says the Border Patrol in Arizona violated court orders by failing to properly keep surveillance video pertaining to a lawsuit claiming the agency holds migrants in inhumane conditions. Judge David Bury partially granted a motion on Monday, March 13, to hold the Border Patrol's Tucson Sector in civil contempt over video files it was legally required to provide but which were irreparably damaged.(U.S. Border Patrol via AP, File) (AP)

Sanders is packing 'em in: 10,000 people in Madison, Wisconsin. More than 2,500 in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Another 7,500 this week in Portland. The trick for the independent senator from Vermont is to turn all that excitement into something more than a summer fling.( (AP Photo/Robert F. Bukaty) (AP)
