Safe spaces

Volunteers in the US form underground networks to house migrants with nowhere else to go.

Migrant families are being released to communities around the US. They often have no money and no support. Volunteers are stepping in to help.

Also: the White House is considering a plan that would send immigrants to so-called sanctuary cities; climate refugees arrive in a small city in the state of Georgia; a peek inside a KGB Spy Museum in New York City, and the Turkish embassy in Washington DC was once a place to hear jazz legends.
