New Americans in Congress.

US Congressmembers from both parties came together to create a caucus to “celebrate the growing number of first generation Americans serving in the US Congress.” The group, called the New Americans Caucus, seeks to give immigrants a voice within Congress.

Guests: Rep. Norma Torres, D-CA, Washington, DC

Dreamer Detained, Mother Seeks Sanctuary. A young immigrant protected by DACA was arrested in Seattle, the first case in the nation, and an immigrant mother who is facing deportation takes sanctuary in Denver church. Listeners comment on these developments and on calls for a consumer boycott against companies that support punitive policies on immigrants.
