President Donald Trump will give his first State of the Union address this week, and there are some things that Coloradans should be watching for.
The speech will be just after 7 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on Tuesday, and is expected to cover a variety of topics, from Trump’s first-year successes to immigration and infrastructure.
Here’s what you need to know ahead of the address:

A large number of Democrats are bringing immigration-related guestsamid tensions surrounding Trump’s decision last year to unwind the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
Notably, U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Arvada, will be accompanied by Viviana Andazola Marquez, whose father — Melecio Andazola Morales— was deported in December.
