What Is DACA and Is the Immigration Policy About to End?

Immigration

An entire generation of immigrants who came to the U.S. early in life have been able to grow up here, thanks to Obama's DACA program. This week, the Supreme Court is hearing cases that could change the fate of these nearly 1 million young people, known as Dreamers.

Emerson Collective is partnering with NowThis to share stories of people, places, and issues that impact our lives. By raising awareness, we hope to inspire action and spur ideas for ways we can all be more involved in solving problems that are affecting so many communities.
