As many of you probably know, the Trump Administration has announced that DACA will be ended in six months. I thought today we could take a brief look at what this new policy may mean. Here are a few links that may be of help in understanding both the politics and the policy
The first is from University of California, Berkeley which lays out who qualifies for DACA and what recipients may do in response. Please can also consult the CUNY Citizenship Now website for practical advice for friends, family, who may have questions.

The next is a video clip from CNN that gives an overview regarding the recent announcement and the political reaction.

Finally, here is a short article from the Migration Policy Institute that provides some data regarding DACA as well as analysis of the policy challenges ahead.
