DACA Program Faces Uncertain Future with Trump

DACA recipients are facing renewed uncertainty as Donald Trump prepares to potentially take office again, raising fears of mass deportations and the dismantling of the program that has provided them protection since 2012. With ongoing legal battles over DACA's legality and the program not accepting new applicants since 2021, current recipients are worried about their future. Advocates, including Reyna Montoya, emphasize the importance of support and are preparing for possible challenges ahead. The Supreme Court previously ruled against Trump's attempt to end the program, but the new administration may attempt to terminate it more effectively. Despite the anxiety, many DACA holders express resilience and determination to fight for their rights. As of August, there were approximately 535,000 active DACA recipients, with substantial public support for the program.
