12:00: International students face ban from Trump administration
1:00: Rochester City Council candidates in the Democratic primary, part 5
The federal government is attempting to block Harvard's ability to bring in foreign students. While courts intervene, foreign students are weighing whether to come back in the fall — and what that means for their future in the United States. Our guests discuss their response to the administration's repeated efforts to keep students from abroad out. Our guests:
- Lola DeAscentiis, rising senior at Harvard College from Rochester, NY and co-founder of Students for Freedom
- James McAffrey, rising senior at Harvard College from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and a co-founder of Students for Freedom
- Alfred Williamson, student at Harvard College from Wales
Then in our second hour, it's the final discussion in our five-part series with candidates running in the Democratic primary for Rochester City Council. Early voting begins Saturday, June 14, and our goal on "Connections" is to help voters feel informed as they head to the polls. We talk to the candidates about their platforms, priorities, and their perspectives on a range of issues affecting the city. In studio:
- Stanley Martin, candidate for Rochester City Council
- Miguel Meléndez, Jr., candidate for Rochester City Council
- Niner Davis, candidate for Rochester City Council
*Note: "Connections" is livestreamed each day on the WXXI News YouTube channel. Watch here.
