What's The Future For Immigrants Under DACA?

Cleanup and damage control has just begun in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, and already another potentially catastrophic hurricane, Irma, is headed straight towards Florida. 

President Donald Trump has made another controversial move: ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that protects young undocumented immigrants from deportation. He left it up to Congress to decide what happens next

This hour, we also tackle UTC's expansion, former Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez's guilty plea, and updates on the state budget and gubernatorial run.

GUESTS: 

  • Colin McEnroe - Host of WNPR's Colin McEnroe Show
  • Harriet Jones - WNPR's business reporter 
  • Dan Haar - Covers commerce, economics, wealth and poverty for The Hartford Courant
