Immigration Edition.
Arkansas has a new law banning sanctuary cities, which imposes state funding cuts to cities that don’t cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Other Republican-led states have passed similar laws. On the other hand, a new law in Arkansas grants in-state college tuition to DACA recipients and other immigrants and nursing licenses to DACA students. And in Colorado, a new law expanding access to driver’s licenses for the undocumented is going into effect. These and other news developments are discussed in this edition.
Guests: Marissa Molina, Colorado Immigration Manager, FWD.us, Denver, CO; Mireya Reith, Founding Executive Director, Arkansas United, Fayetteville, AR
