Immigration in Kentucky on Eastern Standard

Marisa Hempel
John Hingsbergen spoke with Minh Nguyen and John Koehlinger in studio with Hadeel Abdallah via Skype for the conversation about immigration in Kentucky.

The new president’s executive order limiting travel from seven Middle Eastern and African countries has kept immigration on our minds these past couple of weeks.

On this week’s EST, we’ll discuss immigration in the Commonwealth.
