EXCLUSIVE — Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) sent a letter Wednesday to the Department of Veterans Affairs pressing the agency on its use of resources for the healthcare of illegal immigrants.

Veterans Affairs has an agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement in which it processes medical claims on the agency’s behalf, but the VA emphasizes it does not provide illegal immigrants healthcare. ICE covers the cost of those claims.
