President Trump had earlier said the announcement could come at some point over the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a presidential candidate, Trump pledged to \"immediately terminate\" DACA, the program that former President Barack Obama began five years ago to protect immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But once in the White House, Trump took a softer stance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The DACA situation is a very, very — it's a very difficult thing for me,\" he said during \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/02/16/515608127/transcript-and-analysis-trump-press-conference-on-labor-secretary-russia\">a February 2017 news conference\u003c/a>. He added, \"You have some absolutely incredible kids — I would say mostly — they were brought here in such a way. It's a very — it's a very, very tough subject. We're going to deal with DACA with heart.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three months later, Trump told the Associated Press, \"The Dreamers should rest easy.\" The term Dreamers is often used to refer to DACA participants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, when asked if Dreamers should be worried, Trump replied, \"\"We love the Dreamers. We love everybody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program is under threat with the administration facing a potential legal challenge over its future. Supporters fear the policy that has shielded hundreds of thousands of young immigrants from deportation could soon be phased out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"\u003c/em>We hear that the president is conflicted about it, and we hope that is because there is a clear understanding that rescinding DACA is morally bankrupt because it would destroy the lives of youth who know no other country but this one as their own,\" said Clarissa Martínez De Castro, deputy vice president of the Latino advocacy group UnidosUS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/547853006/547853221\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DACA Deadline Looming\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now a deadline is looming: Sept. 5. That is the date attorneys general from Texas and nine other Republican-led states are giving the Trump administration to answer an ultimatum: End the DACA program or face a legal challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because it's temporary, because it was based on an executive action taken by President Obama, it's very vulnerable to a change,\" said Frank Sharry, executive director of the immigration advocacy group America's Voice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DACA critics argue the policy represents executive overreach and, as a result, is unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Supporter: DACA 'Helps Advance the Rule of Law'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is actually a program that helps advance the rule of law by having people come forward and be on the books and working just like everybody else,\" said De Castro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DACA allows some undocumented immigrants who arrived in the country as children to get renewable two-year deferrals from deportation and work legally, so long as they are enrolled in or graduated from high school or college and pass a background check, among other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"aWW04UuQz8W0IaRgLXFQXpPYGLeffDsq\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luis Angel Aguilar, 29, applied for DACA protections in 2013.

The speaker said that Obama was wrong to act without Congress and that Trump should defer to Congress to fix the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Having said all of that, there are people who are in limbo. These are kids who know no other country, who were brought here by their parents and don't know another home,\" Ryan said. \"And so I really do believe there needs to be a legislative solution, that's one that we're working on, and I think we want to give people peace of mind.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House press secretary Sanders on Thursday told reporters that the Trump administration is still reviewing DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It has not been finalized, and when it is, we will certainly let you know,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, supporters of the DACA policy say they're bracing for what comes next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR's Susan Davis contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

The speaker said that Obama was wrong to act without Congress and that Trump should defer to Congress to fix the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Having said all of that, there are people who are in limbo. These are kids who know no other country, who were brought here by their parents and don't know another home,\" Ryan said. \"And so I really do believe there needs to be a legislative solution, that's one that we're working on, and I think we want to give people peace of mind.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House press secretary Sanders on Thursday told reporters that the Trump administration is still reviewing DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It has not been finalized, and when it is, we will certainly let you know,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, supporters of the DACA policy say they're bracing for what comes next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR's Susan Davis contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

DACA protects only him from deportation.

But Alvin didn't feel like he could connect with the Latino community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sucked especially because, like, you go through all these struggles, and you can’t really feel like you identify with other folks who also go through that struggle, so you just kind of, like, stay in your own pocket of [the] world,” he says. “It’s like you’re a double minority.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11478940\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11478940\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Hot-Wheels-Car-800x475.jpg\" alt=\"One of many Hot Wheels toy cars from Alvin’s collection sits on his desk at work.\" width=\"800\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Hot-Wheels-Car-800x475.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Hot-Wheels-Car-160x95.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Hot-Wheels-Car-1020x606.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Hot-Wheels-Car-1180x701.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Hot-Wheels-Car-960x571.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Hot-Wheels-Car-240x143.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Hot-Wheels-Car-375x223.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Hot-Wheels-Car-520x309.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Hot-Wheels-Car.jpg 1770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of many Hot Wheels toy cars from Alvin’s collection sits on his desk at work. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Alvin)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But DACA changed his life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To be real, it probably has been the biggest life-changer for me,\" says Alvin. \"It's not just a work permit.

He says his aging parents have a hard time doing manual labor in restaurants anymore. But he also doesn’t want them to risk a workplace immigration raid now that Trump is in office. DACA protects only him from deportation. Not his parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Trump’s inauguration, he took his parents to a “\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/27/know-your-rights-immigrants-prepare-for-increased-enforcement/\">Know Your Rights\u003c/a>\" forum to prepare for what to do in case ICE agents show up at their house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s hard for Alvin to imagine what would happen if he and his parents were to get deported. He doesn’t feel like Indonesia is home, and he doesn’t want his dad to go back to the environment where he experienced such trauma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, he finds comfort in car culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hangs out at an auto body shop, tinkering with his car. Most of his buddies there are African-American. When he's around them, he can forget about his immigration woes. Even if it’s just for a moment. Because being undocumented is just one part of who he is.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

They mostly weren't stories about the impact of the travel ban. Rather, they were stories that reflect the rich diversity California is known for. They were stories of people whose families had immigrated a generation prior from the Philippines, South Korea, Pakistan, Mexico, India and more. They were tales of people whose parents settled in the U.S. because of conflict in their home country, such as in Iran and El Salvador. They were stories of undocumented youth, known as Dreamers, who had signed up for former President Obama's DACA (or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program — and in one case, a young man who didn't, because he didn't want to be a \"sitting duck\" if Obama's successor didn't keep the program. And there were people who came on work visas, such as the H-1B often used in Silicon Valley, and for love, such as a gay British man who married his American boyfriend.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside

I graduated in 2011 and since then I've been working as a software engineer. I started my career at a bigger company. I worked there for three years. Since then, I've been working at a smaller startup in Palo Alto for close to three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initially, as one could imagine, getting admitted to Stanford, with all the tuition taken care of, was a dream come true. I experienced no issues getting my student visa as well. It was great. Up till then, my immigration story was very smooth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only after I graduated from Stanford did I realize the problems associated with working on a work visa in the United States. The system is definitely not encouraging folks to be independent, free, and to move from companies. It's not very straightforward at all. The laws are very complex. For the first few years, it was OK because I was just starting to work for the first time in my life. Immigration was not my primary concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once I wanted to switch jobs, that's when I realized how painful it was going to be to even just move from one company to another, let alone starting my own business — which is almost impossible to do. It's been downhill since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, I've come to a point where I've spent close to eight years in this country and I'm starting to doubt whether I should still pursue this arduous journey here or should I give up and go back to my home country or another country like Canada or Australia, where they are welcoming to a lot more highly skilled immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue is primarily with the green card process. They give out 140,000 green cards* per year; no more than 7 percent can go to one specific country. For people who are born in India, we are looking at a wait time of more than 50 years. I'll probably be 70 or maybe even dead by the time I'm actually eligible to get my green card. That is the biggest issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second thing is also the mobility on the H-1B visa. For example, let's say I want to switch to another company. The company sponsors me, but then I have to go back and start the process all over again (that's generally what happens and in any case, it doesn't change the fact that I'll have to wait so many years).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last problem is, for example, let's say I have been here 10 or 15 years, and my company is not doing well. If they lay me off, I have to leave the country within 10 days. I'm basically being penalized because I was born in India. That is the root cause of the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I've come to a point where I've spent close to eight years in this country and I'm starting to doubt whether I should still pursue this arduous journey here or should I give up and go back to my home country or another country ... where they are welcoming to a lot more highly skilled immigrants.'\u003ccite>Gokul Gunasekaran, H-1B visa holder, Sunnyvale\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>As far as the executive orders are concerned, I'm kind of scared right now to go back to visit my parents because I'm worried … whether the consulate will actually give me a stamp to come back to the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the uncertainties toward travel, whether we will get our visa stamping, whether our work visas will be renewed -- these are all adding quite a bit of anxiety to the high-skilled immigrant community.

They mostly weren't stories about the impact of the travel ban. Rather, they were stories that reflect the rich diversity California is known for. They were stories of people whose families had immigrated a generation prior from the Philippines, South Korea, Pakistan, Mexico, India and more. They were tales of people whose parents settled in the U.S. because of conflict in their home country, such as in Iran and El Salvador. They were stories of undocumented youth, known as Dreamers, who had signed up for former President Obama's DACA (or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program — and in one case, a young man who didn't, because he didn't want to be a \"sitting duck\" if Obama's successor didn't keep the program. And there were people who came on work visas, such as the H-1B often used in Silicon Valley, and for love, such as a gay British man who married his American boyfriend.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside

I graduated in 2011 and since then I've been working as a software engineer. I started my career at a bigger company. I worked there for three years. Since then, I've been working at a smaller startup in Palo Alto for close to three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initially, as one could imagine, getting admitted to Stanford, with all the tuition taken care of, was a dream come true. I experienced no issues getting my student visa as well. It was great. Up till then, my immigration story was very smooth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only after I graduated from Stanford did I realize the problems associated with working on a work visa in the United States. The system is definitely not encouraging folks to be independent, free, and to move from companies. It's not very straightforward at all. The laws are very complex. For the first few years, it was OK because I was just starting to work for the first time in my life. Immigration was not my primary concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once I wanted to switch jobs, that's when I realized how painful it was going to be to even just move from one company to another, let alone starting my own business — which is almost impossible to do. It's been downhill since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, I've come to a point where I've spent close to eight years in this country and I'm starting to doubt whether I should still pursue this arduous journey here or should I give up and go back to my home country or another country like Canada or Australia, where they are welcoming to a lot more highly skilled immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue is primarily with the green card process. They give out 140,000 green cards* per year; no more than 7 percent can go to one specific country. For people who are born in India, we are looking at a wait time of more than 50 years. I'll probably be 70 or maybe even dead by the time I'm actually eligible to get my green card. That is the biggest issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second thing is also the mobility on the H-1B visa. For example, let's say I want to switch to another company. The company sponsors me, but then I have to go back and start the process all over again (that's generally what happens and in any case, it doesn't change the fact that I'll have to wait so many years).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last problem is, for example, let's say I have been here 10 or 15 years, and my company is not doing well. If they lay me off, I have to leave the country within 10 days. I'm basically being penalized because I was born in India. That is the root cause of the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I've come to a point where I've spent close to eight years in this country and I'm starting to doubt whether I should still pursue this arduous journey here or should I give up and go back to my home country or another country ... where they are welcoming to a lot more highly skilled immigrants.'\u003ccite>Gokul Gunasekaran, H-1B visa holder, Sunnyvale\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>As far as the executive orders are concerned, I'm kind of scared right now to go back to visit my parents because I'm worried … whether the consulate will actually give me a stamp to come back to the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the uncertainties toward travel, whether we will get our visa stamping, whether our work visas will be renewed -- these are all adding quite a bit of anxiety to the high-skilled immigrant community. That's it in a nutshell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every time I go back home or when I talk to my parents, they ask me if I’m close to getting my green card or do I have any permanency and I tell them, “No. It's not happening.” They ask me, “What's the point of all this? Just come back home and stay with us and stay close with family.” That is a decision that's been moving up on my things to do and I'm seriously considering that, unfortunately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system here is totally broken.

He knew he wouldn't be able to support them in Mexico where jobs are really low-paying, so he decided to take a risk that millions of people have taken: jump the border in order to have a better life and higher-paying jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obviously, he had to face major obstacles since he entered the country illegally. He had to survive a two-week trip from his hometown to the border fence. He would then have to take another 24 hours to get through the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His goal was San Francisco since he had friends there, and after a long trip he made it. Eventually, he was able to get his green card and his citizenship, and save enough money for his family back home to build a house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mother was born in El Salvador and immigrated legally by plane at age 25. Her parents were able to apply for a green card before she traveled to the United States and her green card was granted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main reason for her migration was the fact that there was a civil war going on in El Salvador. She knew no one and basically had to start from scratch. Luckily, after about two years, her sister arrived in San Francisco and they were able to help each other out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Growing up in an immigrant family makes me feel fortunate that I had the opportunities to experience different cultures. It also meant that my family was different in a sense that we ate different meals than most of my friends: While they were eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch, me and my brother were eating tortillas with beans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also made me want to work harder knowing that my parents went through a hard time coming to the United States for them and their kids to have a better future.

The album is precious to her: She saw her baby pictures for the first time only a few years ago, when her aunt brought the album from Mexico. That's because when Carrillo crossed the border as a 7-year-old with her mom, they left almost everything behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Growing up undocumented, first in California, then in Missouri, Carrillo, now 32, was taught to always be on her best behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Any sort of wrong moves could result in my parents getting deported or my getting deported, or ending up in foster care,\" Carrillo said. \"[My mom] was like, 'Always be good.

And yet, in the past decade, more and more young people who were brought to the U.S. as children have been doing just that -- especially those who are LGBTQ.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcrmag/2017/04/2017-04-14b-tcrmag.mp3\" Image=\"https://u.s.kqed.net/2017/04/14/BertProtestImg.jpg\" Title=\"Queer and Undocumented: A Powerful Force in the Dreamer Movement\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Carrillo grew up, she ran into obstacles because of her immigration status. When she went to college, she didn’t qualify for financial aid, so she had to work full time to pay tuition, and it took her nine years to graduate. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/107th-congress/senate-bill/1291\" target=\"_blank\">DREAM Act\u003c/a> (an acronym for Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) would have given undocumented young people like her a path to a green card. But years after it was first introduced in 2001, the bill still hadn’t passed. So Carrillo decided to start lobbying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had reached a point where we had to tell our own stories, we had to speak for ourselves,\" Carrillo said, \"because it was suffocating, you know, living in this place of fear.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suffocating — like when you're gay and in the closet. Carrillo also knew what that felt like. She came out as bisexual when she was 23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At the end of the day, both coming out as queer and coming out as undocumented, it’s about living life on your own terms,\" Carrillo said. \"[It's about] you calling the shots about how you move about the world, and facing society head on, in your full truth, in both of those areas. And there's power in that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"EFIDkoJ1DqthjlKMkv2c098EdOOjUzY8\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the most outspoken, undocumented young activists who organized across the country for the DREAM Act are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer. After the bill failed in Congress in 2007, they began taking a page from the in-your-face civil disobedience of AIDS and gay rights groups like \u003ca href=\"http://www.actupny.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Act Up!\u003c/a> and adopting the practice — advocated by Harvey Milk and other LGBTQ activists — of “coming out” publicly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People need to know that queer people exist, and people need to know that undocumented people exist, and that we live next door, and that we brush our teeth, and that we floss, or don’t floss, just like everybody else,\" Carrillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2010, as four \"Dreamers\" (young immigrants who were brought to the U.S. without papers as children) walked from Florida to Washington, D.C., to push for the DREAM Act, a group of undocumented youth in Chicago declared \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.iyjl.org/national-coming-out-of-the-shadows-day/\" target=\"_blank\">National Coming Out of the Shadows\u003c/a>\" month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May 2010, Carrillo and four other young people decided to put their bodies on the line, in the place they felt was most dangerous for undocumented immigrants: Arizona. Just weeks before, the state had passed \u003ca href=\"https://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/2r/bills/sb1070s.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">SB 1070\u003c/a>, which made it a crime to be undocumented in the state and required police to check the immigration status of anyone arrested or detained, if police suspected they did not have government permission to be here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11408716\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11408716\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/McCainSitIn-800x1008.jpg\" alt=\"Four undocumented youth, Tania Unzueta, Lizbeth Mateo, Yahaira Carrillo, and Mohammad Abdollahi, accompanied by Raúl Alcaraz, held a sit-in in John McCain’s office in Arizona in 2010. \" width=\"800\" height=\"1008\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/McCainSitIn.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/McCainSitIn-160x202.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/McCainSitIn-240x302.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/McCainSitIn-375x473.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/McCainSitIn-520x655.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Four undocumented youth, Tania Unzueta, Lizbeth Mateo, Yahaira Carrillo and Mohammad Abdollahi, accompanied by Raúl Alcaraz, held a sit-in in John McCain’s office in Arizona in 2010. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Yahaira Carrillo)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Carrillo and the others walked into Sen. John McCain’s office, wearing blue graduation caps and gowns. They sat on the floor, and said they would not leave until the senator agreed to co-sponsor the DREAM Act. Carrillo remembers a police officer tried to talk them out of it. He said he had a son, too, and asked them to think of their future: How would they get a job if they were arrested?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I remember one of us saying, 'But you don’t understand. That’s the problem: that we can’t. We can't get a job,' \" Carrillo recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were risking everything. Four of the young people were arrested that day. Carrillo and two others were turned over to immigration authorities. They were later released but faced possible deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, more protests were happening around the country. A queer immigrant organizer named Prerna Lal, one of the founders of a group called \u003ca href=\"http://dreamactivist.org/\" target=\"_blank\">DreamActivist\u003c/a>, helped shut down Wilshire Boulevard outside Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s office in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did what I did because I didn’t feel like there was an alternative for me, or for my friends,\" said Lal, 32. \"For far too long, we had been cast aside, marginalized. Our stories were not seen as important, our lives not important. And I was tired of living that way and I couldn’t live that way. I felt like coming out and organizing was better. If it meant being deported, so be it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Both coming out as queer and coming out as undocumented, it's about living life on your own terms.'\u003ccite>Yahaira Carrillo\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Lal and her parents came from Fiji and overstayed their visas. By the time her parents got green cards, she was over 21 and couldn't legalize her status with them. Friends suggested she could get a green card another way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was told many times, 'Get married! Just find a boy!' And I was like, 'Well that’s not me, that’s not who I am,\" Lal said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Same-sex marriage wasn't legal at the time, but Lal says many mainstream immigrant rights organizations didn't want to address that obstacle as part of the fight for immigration reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We felt like we were being told, 'While your immigrant stories are great, we don’t want to hear about your sexual orientation, that’s something you do in private,' \" said Lal. \"It's kind of funny talking about that now because we have come so far.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DREAM Act didn't pass, but the Dreamers started something. After the arrest in McCain's office, more and more people began declaring themselves \"Undocumented, unafraid and unapologetic!\" a refrain that has echoes of the chant \"We're here, we're queer, get used to it!\" of radical gay rights organizations. That summer, 21 young undocumented people were arrested while holding sit-ins on Capitol Hill. Almost half of them also identified as queer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lal says the Dreamers risking arrest and deportation caught the attention of the country … and the president. In 2012, President Barack Obama issued temporary protection from deportation for undocumented youth, or \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-daca\" target=\"_blank\">Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals\u003c/a>, known by its initials as DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"DACA’s only in place because people fought for it to be in place,\" Lal said. \"Obama didn’t wake up one day and just decide to do it on his own.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"ZLCyTWBblPnSPt0oCqQ2sTyoQroBFeCw\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, in the months before Obama's announcement, undocumented youth held sit-ins in his campaign offices, calling for an executive order to stop deportations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Felicia Escobar worked in the White House as special assistant to President Obama on immigration policy, and she helped craft DACA. She says the administration had been working on the directive for months before its announcement, and was not directly affected by the sit-ins that summer. She acknowledges, however, that the president and others in his administration had been meeting with undocumented youth from the beginning of his first term in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The fact that Dreamers have been, you know, unafraid to come out and share their story has had a tremendous impact on the entire immigrant rights movement,\" said Escobar. \"They’re able to humanize the issue, they’re articulate, you see them, you hear them. They moved the ball forward in a really impactful way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 750,000 DACA applications have been approved since the policy began in 2012. During his campaign, Donald Trump vowed to end DACA. But as president, he has backed off somewhat, saying he would deal with people who have DACA with \"great heart,\" and leave it in place, at least for now. At the same time, he's promised to increase deportations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As of now it seems like DACA youth are safe,\" said Escobar, \"but they don’t live in a vacuum. They’re worried about their parents. They're worried about their siblings, who may not have qualified for DACA.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"daScyNAOZZnxuNvGVawHaO8vPl1IyjGA\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lal and Carrillo now see that fear and uncertainty every day at the East Bay Community Law Center where they both work. Lal is an attorney serving undocumented students at UC Berkeley. After Trump's inauguration, Lal says the number of students seeking legal help went up by 50 percent. She says she has even had clients who have refused needed medical care because they are worried that if their family members come to see them in the hospital, they could be deported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of my greatest fears when Trump was elected was not that he would take DACA away, but that he would keep it and use it as a bargaining chip. And that's precisely what I see is happening,\" said Lal. \"A bargaining chip, saying, 'We'll deport everyone else, except for these young, amazing, quote-unquote children.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lal fought her own deportation all the way to the Supreme Court and lost, but that same court ended up granting her a path to permanent residency when it ruled that same-sex marriage is legal. That allowed her to obtain a green card through her marriage to her U.S. citizen wife. Carrillo has a visa to live and work here now, too. Both of them say they know some people wonder if, under Trump, “coming out” as undocumented is too great a risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And that’s real,\" said Carrillo. \"But at the end of the day we don’t want to go back to the same place we were before. Because that’s basically the same thing we were told in 2010: 'We do this for your safety. We speak for you so you can be safe.' I have no desire to go back to that. I also have no desire to tell people they’re going to be safe. If you are not undocumented, it’s not your place to tell people. It’s just like coming out as queer. You choose when you come out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11407603\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11407603 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt='Blanca Vazquez invites undocumented immigrants to \"come out of the shadows\" at a rally in Oakland in April 2017.' width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blanca Vazquez, of the East Bay Immigrant Youth Coalition, invites undocumented immigrants to 'come out of the shadows' at a rally in Oakland in April 2017. \u003ccite>(Zaidee Stavely/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Some undocumented youth and adults are still choosing to come out, and they're still using the chant \"Undocumented!

Even with all the uncertainty under the Trump administration, she says she'll keep speaking out about her status. She still remembers the first time she saw someone share publicly that they were undocumented. After being told her entire life not to share her immigration status, she was shocked and remembers thinking, \"Does he know what he’s about to do? You just don’t do that.

After the bill failed in Congress in 2007, they began taking a page from the in-your-face civil disobedience of AIDS and gay rights groups like \u003ca href=\"http://www.actupny.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Act Up!\u003c/a> and adopting the practice — advocated by Harvey Milk and other LGBTQ activists — of “coming out” publicly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People need to know that queer people exist, and people need to know that undocumented people exist, and that we live next door, and that we brush our teeth, and that we floss, or don’t floss, just like everybody else,\" Carrillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2010, as four \"Dreamers\" (young immigrants who were brought to the U.S. without papers as children) walked from Florida to Washington, D.C., to push for the DREAM Act, a group of undocumented youth in Chicago declared \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.iyjl.org/national-coming-out-of-the-shadows-day/\" target=\"_blank\">National Coming Out of the Shadows\u003c/a>\" month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May 2010, Carrillo and four other young people decided to put their bodies on the line, in the place they felt was most dangerous for undocumented immigrants: Arizona. Just weeks before, the state had passed \u003ca href=\"https://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/2r/bills/sb1070s.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">SB 1070\u003c/a>, which made it a crime to be undocumented in the state and required police to check the immigration status of anyone arrested or detained, if police suspected they did not have government permission to be here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11408716\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11408716\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/McCainSitIn-800x1008.jpg\" alt=\"Four undocumented youth, Tania Unzueta, Lizbeth Mateo, Yahaira Carrillo, and Mohammad Abdollahi, accompanied by Raúl Alcaraz, held a sit-in in John McCain’s office in Arizona in 2010. \" width=\"800\" height=\"1008\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/McCainSitIn.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/McCainSitIn-160x202.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/McCainSitIn-240x302.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/McCainSitIn-375x473.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/McCainSitIn-520x655.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Four undocumented youth, Tania Unzueta, Lizbeth Mateo, Yahaira Carrillo and Mohammad Abdollahi, accompanied by Raúl Alcaraz, held a sit-in in John McCain’s office in Arizona in 2010. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Yahaira Carrillo)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Carrillo and the others walked into Sen. John McCain’s office, wearing blue graduation caps and gowns. They sat on the floor, and said they would not leave until the senator agreed to co-sponsor the DREAM Act. Carrillo remembers a police officer tried to talk them out of it. He said he had a son, too, and asked them to think of their future: How would they get a job if they were arrested?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I remember one of us saying, 'But you don’t understand. That’s the problem: that we can’t. We can't get a job,' \" Carrillo recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were risking everything. Four of the young people were arrested that day. Carrillo and two others were turned over to immigration authorities. They were later released but faced possible deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, more protests were happening around the country. A queer immigrant organizer named Prerna Lal, one of the founders of a group called \u003ca href=\"http://dreamactivist.org/\" target=\"_blank\">DreamActivist\u003c/a>, helped shut down Wilshire Boulevard outside Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s office in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did what I did because I didn’t feel like there was an alternative for me, or for my friends,\" said Lal, 32. \"For far too long, we had been cast aside, marginalized. Our stories were not seen as important, our lives not important. And I was tired of living that way and I couldn’t live that way. I felt like coming out and organizing was better. If it meant being deported, so be it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Both coming out as queer and coming out as undocumented, it's about living life on your own terms.'\u003ccite>Yahaira Carrillo\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Lal and her parents came from Fiji and overstayed their visas. By the time her parents got green cards, she was over 21 and couldn't legalize her status with them. Friends suggested she could get a green card another way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was told many times, 'Get married! Just find a boy!' And I was like, 'Well that’s not me, that’s not who I am,\" Lal said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Same-sex marriage wasn't legal at the time, but Lal says many mainstream immigrant rights organizations didn't want to address that obstacle as part of the fight for immigration reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We felt like we were being told, 'While your immigrant stories are great, we don’t want to hear about your sexual orientation, that’s something you do in private,' \" said Lal. \"It's kind of funny talking about that now because we have come so far.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DREAM Act didn't pass, but the Dreamers started something. After the arrest in McCain's office, more and more people began declaring themselves \"Undocumented, unafraid and unapologetic!\" a refrain that has echoes of the chant \"We're here, we're queer, get used to it!\" of radical gay rights organizations. That summer, 21 young undocumented people were arrested while holding sit-ins on Capitol Hill. Almost half of them also identified as queer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lal says the Dreamers risking arrest and deportation caught the attention of the country … and the president. In 2012, President Barack Obama issued temporary protection from deportation for undocumented youth, or \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-daca\" target=\"_blank\">Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals\u003c/a>, known by its initials as DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"DACA’s only in place because people fought for it to be in place,\" Lal said. \"Obama didn’t wake up one day and just decide to do it on his own.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, in the months before Obama's announcement, undocumented youth held sit-ins in his campaign offices, calling for an executive order to stop deportations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Felicia Escobar worked in the White House as special assistant to President Obama on immigration policy, and she helped craft DACA. She says the administration had been working on the directive for months before its announcement, and was not directly affected by the sit-ins that summer. She acknowledges, however, that the president and others in his administration had been meeting with undocumented youth from the beginning of his first term in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The fact that Dreamers have been, you know, unafraid to come out and share their story has had a tremendous impact on the entire immigrant rights movement,\" said Escobar. \"They’re able to humanize the issue, they’re articulate, you see them, you hear them. They moved the ball forward in a really impactful way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 750,000 DACA applications have been approved since the policy began in 2012. During his campaign, Donald Trump vowed to end DACA. But as president, he has backed off somewhat, saying he would deal with people who have DACA with \"great heart,\" and leave it in place, at least for now. At the same time, he's promised to increase deportations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As of now it seems like DACA youth are safe,\" said Escobar, \"but they don’t live in a vacuum. They’re worried about their parents. They're worried about their siblings, who may not have qualified for DACA.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lal and Carrillo now see that fear and uncertainty every day at the East Bay Community Law Center where they both work. Lal is an attorney serving undocumented students at UC Berkeley. After Trump's inauguration, Lal says the number of students seeking legal help went up by 50 percent. She says she has even had clients who have refused needed medical care because they are worried that if their family members come to see them in the hospital, they could be deported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of my greatest fears when Trump was elected was not that he would take DACA away, but that he would keep it and use it as a bargaining chip. And that's precisely what I see is happening,\" said Lal. \"A bargaining chip, saying, 'We'll deport everyone else, except for these young, amazing, quote-unquote children.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lal fought her own deportation all the way to the Supreme Court and lost, but that same court ended up granting her a path to permanent residency when it ruled that same-sex marriage is legal. That allowed her to obtain a green card through her marriage to her U.S. citizen wife. Carrillo has a visa to live and work here now, too. Both of them say they know some people wonder if, under Trump, “coming out” as undocumented is too great a risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And that’s real,\" said Carrillo. \"But at the end of the day we don’t want to go back to the same place we were before. Because that’s basically the same thing we were told in 2010: 'We do this for your safety. We speak for you so you can be safe.' I have no desire to go back to that. I also have no desire to tell people they’re going to be safe. If you are not undocumented, it’s not your place to tell people. It’s just like coming out as queer. You choose when you come out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11407603\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11407603 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt='Blanca Vazquez invites undocumented immigrants to \"come out of the shadows\" at a rally in Oakland in April 2017.' width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS24937_IMG_3682-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blanca Vazquez, of the East Bay Immigrant Youth Coalition, invites undocumented immigrants to 'come out of the shadows' at a rally in Oakland in April 2017. \u003ccite>(Zaidee Stavely/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Some undocumented youth and adults are still choosing to come out, and they're still using the chant \"Undocumented!
