Recorded by: Siya Mali of KRUI's Homeland to HeartlandIn our first episode recorded live at KRUI studios, we were joined by special guest Sen. Jeff Merkely from Oregon. Sen. Merkley recently made national headlines when he attempted to inquire about the status of immigrant children who have been separated from their parents at the border. The Trump administration's "zero-tolerance" policy has led to the separation of families entering the US seeking asylum and has raised serious humanitarian concerns. On this special edition of Political Party Live we discuss immigration, marijuana legalization and a range of other topics, including the hit TV show Portlandia!
