A woman holds up a signs in support of the Obama administration program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, during a rally on Aug. 15 at the White House.

It's been in the headlines and all over social media. But we wanted to find out how the repeal of DACA would affect our friends and neighbors here in Louisville.

Two activists from Mijente Louisville, a grassroots Latinx organization, join us on this week's show. We talk about the sanctuary movement, and what it would look like if Louisville were declared a sanctuary city.
