Heisler Dreamers

Demonstrators in cities across the U.S. protested yesterday after President Trump moved to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or #DACA. Attorney General Jeff Sessions confirmed days of speculation that the #Trump administration would end DACA in 6 months, leaving Congress to come up with a legislative solution to replace it. The announcement, fulfilling a campaign pledge of President @realdonaldtrump, immediately threw into question the future of everyone who signed up under the program. Some of the 800,000 young adults brought to the U.S. illegally as children who qualify for DACA will become eligible for deportation. “Am I supposed to plan to reset my life in 6 months?” one graduate student and so-called Dreamer asked. “This isn’t over, and we’re not going to be pushed out of our country.” @heislerphoto photographed a demonstration outside of Trump Tower in New York
