When the White House announced this week that it would end the DACA program, the Trump Administration disrupted the lives of nearly 800,000 people brought into the United States illegally as children. In the wake of the announcement, many DACA recipients have struggled to comprehend what their future holds, or whether or not they'll be permitted to live, work, or study freely in the United States.

Amidst a public narrative teeming with uncertainty, Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia, the Samuel Weiss faculty scholar and clinical professor of law, and the director at Center for Immigrants’ Rights Clinic at Penn State, joins The Takeaway to answer questions from DACA recipients.

This segment is hosted by Todd Zwillich.
