Democratic Congressman Bennie Thompson previews impeachment-related hearings in the House later today. Then, the federal immigration program known as DACA is before the U.S. Supreme Court. Mississippi advocates and immigrants weigh-in. And after a Southern Remedy Health Minute, Democratic challenger Mike Espy says he's ready to go another round against U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith.

Segment 1:
The Washington version of must-see TV makes its debut with the first public hearing in the impeachment inquiry. Cameras are in place in a House office building just south of the Capitol for the opening session this morning. Witnesses are expected to provide evidence about President Donald Trump's efforts to tie U.S. aid for Ukraine to investigations of his political opponents. MPB's Ezra Wall spoke with Congressman Bennie Thompson. The Mississippi Democrat talks about what he's expecting to hear during today's testimony.

Segment 2:
Immigrants rights advocates are speaking out following a hearing in the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday that threatens the legal status of thousands of young immigrants. The immigrants are part of a program designed to help people who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. It's called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals - or DACA. The Trump Administration has tried to rescind the program, only to have the lower courts block his action. Patricia Ice of the Mississippi Immigrants Rights Alliance talks with MPB's Desare Frazier.
Jesus is a food service worker. We're not using his last name to protect his identity. The aspiring restaurant manager says the DACA program allowed him to seek the education he will need to achieve his goals.

Segment 4:
Democrat Mike Espy says he wants a rematch against Cindy Hyde-Smith for the U.S. Senate seat. Espy lost last year's special election for the two remaining years of retired Senator Thad Cochran's six year term. He says in spite of Democrats losing the recent gubernatorial election, he sees a path to victory in 2020, as he explains to our Kobee Vance.
