The Line: Future Of DACA

September 8, 2017 – U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced this week that the Trump administration is ending the DACA program, which began during the Obama administration. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals allowed some young people, who were brought to the U.S. without documentation as children, to apply for work permits and receive temporary protection from deportation. Host Gene Grant and this week’s Line opinion panelists discuss the announcement and what it means for New Mexicans.
