DACA Activists of New York (2012- 2018)

DACA is a program established by the Obama administration in 2012 that protected 800,000 young immigrants from deportation.
The administration of President Trump announced to put an end to a migration plan that exempts from deportation and grants temporary work permits to some 800,000 immigrants brought without authorization to the United States as children. If DACA expires 915 Dreamers will lose protection from deportation each day according to the Migration Policy Institute.
