Description

President Trump is planning to sign an executive order that would remove the birthright citizenship for some US-born babies. His order would be aimed at babies born to non-citizens and unauthorized immigrants, and almost certainly sets up a standoff with the courts and a constitutional debate over the 14th amendment, as many legal scholars say that it is not within the powers of the president to take this action. However there are those that say it is possible. Stef Kight, immigration reporter for Axios, joins us to discuss the President’s plans.

Next, just in time for Halloween… how do you get rid of that haunted house? Selling your house may pose some interesting challenges if it is occupied by ghosts or if a death has occurred in there. According to a new survey, 49% of people said that under no circumstances, would they buy a haunted house. Jeff Andrews, data reporter for Curbed.com, joins us for some spooky stories about houses and how realtors sell these stigmatized houses.

Finally, be careful out there when partying and trick or treating. Halloween can be a scary night to be a pedestrian. A new study has found that 43% more pedestrians die on Halloween night than on other autumn nights. It’s darker and spookier and more people are out and about on Halloween so be careful when getting around watch out for people darting across the street. Rachel Becker, reporter for the Verge, joins us for the concerning numbers.
