Trump inaugural pastor helps undocumented immigrants

Sam Rodriguez, Jr., the pastor who delivered a prayer at Donald Trump's inauguration, is setting up a safe haven for undocumented immigrants at his Sacramento church. With uncertainty about Trump's immigration policies, Rodriguez says half a dozen families have sought refuge at his church. Also, President Trump delivered his first address to a joint session of Congress this week.
