Igor Volsky, Deputy Director for the Center for American Progress Action Fund, guest hosts the show today.

Here are the guests that Igor interviewed along with the topics they discussed. (There were also callers dispersed throughout the show).

1. Ian Millhiser, a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress Action Fund and the Editor of ThinkProgress Justice.

Igor and Ian discuss the United States vs. Texas case, which are a challenge to President Obama's executive orders regarding immigration. According to Milhiser, the lawsuit by Texas "challenges a program known as Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (“DAPA”), as well as an expansion of the existing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (“DACA”). Together, these programs are expected to allow 4.9 million immigrants to temporarily remain in the country and to work while they are here."
