More Trump Trauma : Ending the DACA Dream, and LGBTQ People Affected

We talk to DACA and LGBTQ actvist Jose Guevera along with expert journalist Karen Ocamb on the state of DACA. Will nearly 800,000 young undocumented immigrants lose protection from deportation? That decision is up to Congress, the Trump administration has said. The administration is rescinding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. By doing so, Trump overturns President Barack Obama's signature immigration policy and could upend the lives of more than three quarters of a million people.
LGBTQ people affected face special issues including being returned to countries, in which they have never lived, to be executed for who they are.
Co-hosted by seasoned reporter Brody Levesque.
