Hurricane Fiona leaves Puerto Rico in the dark

Fiona, the first major Atlantic hurricane of the season, is bringing heavy rains, high winds and widespread power outages to Puerto Rico. The power grid, which was severely damaged during Hurricane Maria five years ago, failed yesterday afternoon and the entire island lost power -- even before Fiona made landfall. Plus, the murky road ahead for migrants sent from Texas to Massachusetts. And, is the pressure to free Brittney Griner fading? Guests: Axios' Steph Solis and NBC News' Nicole Acevedo. Credits: Axios Today is produced by Niala Boodhoo, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Alexandra Botti, Lydia McMullen-Laird, Fonda Mwangi, Alex Sugiura, and Ben O'Brien. Music is composed by Evan Viola.
