Anti-Sanctuary

Dozens of cities and seven states have adopted so-called “sanctuary” policies that shield illegal immigrants from possible deportation. Sometimes there are tragic results. But we are also seeing uprisings by communities that claim to welcome immigrants—just not illegal immigrants who have committed crimes. Today’s cover story begins in Santa Clarita, California about 35 miles outside of LA…population about 220-thousand.

Hurricane Maria

The impact of Hurricane Florence may take weeks to tally. It took nearly one year, before Puerto Rico finally acknowledged the number of deaths from Hurricane Maria was shockingly more than the 64 that they'd long claimed: 2,975.

Scott Thuman found one South American country where the business of funding terrorism is being conducted right in the open.
