Trump's Decision to End DACA
Lua Yuille
Associate Professor of Law
University of Kansas
"This announcement brings heightened uncertainty and fear for families that have been worried since the Trump administration began issuing immigration-related executive orders in January of this year. It remains to be seen how and with what speed the 'recision' will be implemented, but I don't expect any actual legislation to be borne from it."
Yuille can discuss the Trump administration's decision to end the DACA program with a six-month delay, as well as immigration, law, possible legislative solutions, DREAMers and related topics.

Dr. Steve Wuhs
Assistant Provost for Internationalization

Dr. Wuhs is assistant provost for internationalization and professor of political science at the University of Redlands. He has a broad range of expertise, including politics of Mexico and the United States, parties and elections, and political change.
