As the Trump administration’s promise to repeal President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program loomed on the horizon, Dreamers held a candlelight vigil outside Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s D.C. home in hopes the couple’s presence might persuade President Trump to keep DACA going.
Forced onto the American populace by way of executive order in 2012, DACA would allow thousands of immigrants brought into the country illegally as minors to have deportations deferred and become eligible for a work permit. The recipients became known as the “Dreamers,” with the majority of them in high school or college.
