Will They Be Coming For You?
Dr. Melinda Brennan, Executive Director of the Wisconsin ACLU, joins Maggie to discuss the current administration's immigration policy. The hard question - why should we care about what happens to immigrants? Caring means we care about due process, respect human dignity, and want the best outcome for our schools, communities and families and not destroy the economy in the process. This should be a problem we all care about on an ideological level. Dr. Brennan also explains that basic human rights are on the ballot on April 1. So vote early or vote on election day, but make your plan to vote.

From the Ring to Roads…
Gray Gunderson is back for "Your Neck of the Woods," and he brings Rich LoCascio from Civic Media's WRJN with him today. As it turns out, you can also catch Rich in a wrestling ring. You won't see him down on the mat, but you will hear his voice...as a professional ring announcer. Rich explains what the wrestling term "kayfabe" means. To save you a Google search: It's a form of story-telling where there's an agreement between professional wrestlers and their fans pretend that staged wrestling events, stories, characters, etc., are genuine. Plus, Jeramey Jannene from "Urban Milwaukee" joins Maggie for "Milwaukee As A Microcosm." Jeramey breaks some news from the Department of Transportation. Grants for upwards of $110 million in upgrades to roads, bikes lanes, and other improvements around the state are now under scrutiny by the Trump administration.

It's worth your time. Turns out local politics has it's issues...and looks a lot like what's happening on the federal level. All the stuff happening in your city can impact you and your family more than what's happening in Washington D.C. Plus, the Miami of the Midwest will see fewer cruise ships in 2025. Jeramey points out that multiple cruise ship lines will be reducing their Great Lakes offerings in 2025.
