WASHINGTON, D.C. - Wednesday marks the 10th anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program – known as DACA.
The program, put into place during the Obama Administration, protects undocumented people who were brought to the U.S. as children from deportation, and also allows them to work.
U.S. Senator Alex Padilla of California will be one of the DACA supporters at a news conference in Washington D.C. Wednesday.
Fellow supporters, along with immigration advocates and organizations fighting for Dreamers, will be using the anniversary to create a renewed push for Congress to pass the Dream Act.
