Part One: Tyler Moran gives us an update on what’s happening with immigration, and with kids at the border. This includes some frightening changes at the US Citizenship and Immigration Service. USCIS has been primarily a service provider; the place you go to to apply for a green card or citizenship, but is now turning into an enforcement agency. Currently there are still 300 children who remain separated from their parents. 96 of those parents have been deported. 13,000 children (unaccompanied minors) are in government custody. Tyler explains the reasoning behind moving those children to tents. You’ll want to set your hair on fire.

Part Two: Dr. Jennifer Wiseman is an astronomer, an astrophysicist, and Director of the Science, Ethics, and Religion (DoSer) program of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. She joins us to talk about their program that is bringing science to seminaries. The program is so successful that it’s expanding.
