After decades of seeing the city's population slide with every census count, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is acting to try and turn the trend around.

Mayor Rawlings-Blake has told Latinos in particular that she is counting on them to help Baltimore gain 10,000 families within a decade.

As a first step, the Mayor signed an order in March barring police from asking anyone about their immigration status and requiring federal immigration authorities to tell anyone they arrest that they are not agents of the city.

Mayor Rawlings-Blake appears on Starting Point this morning to discuss her initiative and to respond to people critical of her new approach.
