The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program — for immigrants whose parents brought them illegally to the United States when they were children — offers participants protection from immigration enforcement and benefits such as work permits and the ability to buy health insurance. We discuss efforts by the Trump administration to roll back some of these protections and benefits. This episode: White House correspondent Deepa Shivaram, immigration policy correspondent Ximena Bustillo, and senior national political correspondent Mara Liasson. This podcast was produced by Bria Suggs and edited by Rachel Baye. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
