A Paramedic With DACA Status Rescues Harvey Victims As Trump Decides His Fate
This Paramedic Who Rescued Harvey Victims May Be Deported If Trump Ends DACA
It was like getting an extra kick to the face when youre already down.
Artemio Muniz, chair of the Texas Federation of Hispanic Republicans, said DACA recipients in the areas affected by the hurricane were hit with a double whammy over the last few days.
"The timing is just so bad, Muniz told BuzzFeed News. Some of them lost their homes and are trying to recover from the hurricane."
Nearly 790,000 young undocumented immigrants received work permits and protection from deportation under DACA, according to the latest figures from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The program, created by Obama in 2012, faces an uncertain future in the coming days, with Trump expected to announce a decision about its fate on Tuesday.
