Since the Trump administration last month announced the rescission of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy, which has allowed nearly 800,000 individuals brought to the United States as children to stay and obtain work permits, there have been many stories about the accomplishments of these high-achieving young people.
The program will end March 5, 2018, with President Trump saying that in the meantime he expected Congress to pass a legislative solution to protect DACA recipients, also commonly referred to as Dreamers. Roughly 350,000 are estimated to be currently enrolled in school or college.
Faces of Dreamers is a series of links and posts on the Dreamers, many of whom are under threat of deportation following the administration’s decision. We will be updating this page regularly during DACA Higher Education Theme Week—October 16-20—and beyond.
