STORY AND PHOTO BY JODI FUSON
Immigration has long been an important issue on both the left and the right. Joe Biden will enter the White House burdened down with the expectations of immigration activists. What can Biden do immediately and can he get Congress on his side? Interviews with people in Texas and California, two states that experience a lot of immigration.

Volunteers from Stand In for Nebraska help load bags of clothing to be transported and donated to the Pine Ridge Reservation on Sunday, Dec. 13, 2020. The annual winter clothing drive for the Pine Ridge Reservation had its most successful year yet. A record number of donations poured in from all over Nebraska. With so many donations, clothing drive organizer Bill Hawkins posted on Facebook to ask for a bigger truck. Stand in for Nebraska, a local nonprofit group, answered the call and paid for the gas as well. By the end of the morning the 26-foot moving truck was packed tight with donations heading northwest.
