On the 21st: We looked at the effect of President Trump's executive ban on immigration across the state, including people who are directly affected and those trying to help them. 

President Trump's executive order on immigration is sending shockwaves across the U.S. and the globe.

Just one day after he enacted a ban on the admittance of all refugees to the United States, temporarily freezing immigration from seven mostly Muslim countries, confusion, chaos and fear are roiling international airports. Refugees are being barred from boarding U.S.-bound flights. Immigrants are being detained at U.S. airports.

Gov. Bruce Rauner's executive order freezing "non-essential" state spending is raising questions about exactly what spending it covers at state universities.
