Immigration Protesters March on Trump Tower in Support of DACA
--------------------------------------------------------------

In New York, hundreds of protesters marched to Trump Tower in Midtown
Manhattan Wednesday, calling on the Trump administration not to cancel
DACA-an immigration policy that protects nearly 800,000 undocumented
immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children. Trump is reportedly
considering ending the 5-year-old program, after attorneys general from
10 states threatened to sue if the administration doesn't end DACA by
September 5. This is Angie Kim, a DACA recipient.

Angie Kim: "So, I come from a generation where it was before DACA,
before we even had-used words like 'undocumented.' Right? So I know what
it's like to live life in a limbo where you don't have the ability to
work, make a living, support your family, go to school. So DACA meant
everything to me. And now, five years later, I think I'm sort of back in
that place where my life is back in limbo."
