Gov. Bill Lee is asking the U.S. Senate to investigate the arrival of unaccompanied migrant children in Tennessee, The Tennessean reports. Lee and Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds sent a letter yesterday to U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who previously had asked Senate leaders to hold hearings on the recent influx of migrants at the southern border. Both Lee and Reynolds previously declined a request by the federal government to provide housing for unaccompanied minors in their respective states.
