A research organization examined the roles states and cities can play in implementing a new federal legalization program. Many states with new immigrant populations do not have experience integrating newly-legalized immigrants. An update is given about the end of the hunger strike at the immigration detention center in Washington State. This edition includes a news story about Elvira Arellano and Herminia Gallego and advice from attorney Rosalba Piña, an immigration law expert from Chicago.
