WA is a 'sanctuary' state. What does that mean for deportations?

Today, we have an episode from our friends at Booming. The recent flooding in Washington is a reminder of the extreme weather impacts of climate change. But the Northwest has become a destination for people seeking a more livable climate.

Climate migration is difficult to study, and even harder to predict. But some researchers say a historic population shift has already begun.

On today's episode: is the Pacific Northwest ready for an influx of climate refugees?
