The Real-life Impact of Obama's Immigration Executive Orders Anabel Cuevas came to the United States from Mexico as a baby. She is protected from deportation under President Obama's original executive order, known as DACA, which is not being challenged in Monday's Supreme Court case; but her parents would be eligible for DAPA, one of the orders the court is reviewing. It would remove the threat of deportation for the parents of children here legally.

In 'Speechless,' Scott Silveri combines comedy, family & disability Scott Silveri has written and produced sitcoms for more than 20 years. In all that time, he never encountered a TV family that looked anything like the one he grew up in -- with a mom, a dad...and a brother with cerebral palsy. He changed that with his show Speechless on ABC. Silveri tells us about looking to his own past for stories, and why he was determined to make a family comedy and not just a "disability show."
