Two Local DACA Recipients On What A Federal Judge’s Ruling Means For Them
Just a year after the Supreme Court ruled that former President Trump could not legally end the Obama-era policy known as 'DACA,' a federal judge in Texas recently ruled the policy itself unconstitutional. For almost a decade, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program has protected people who were brought to the United States as undocumented immigrants as children. And while the ruling does not impact current DACA recipients — at least for the time being — it does affect those who had applied but not been approved, and it also once again raises uncertainties about the future for so-called Dreamers in general. Jim Braude was joined by two Massachusetts residents who have benefitted from the program: Lucas Lomba, who came to the U.S. from Brazil at age 8, and Allie Rojas, who immigrated from Mexico when she was four years old.
