Hosts Patty Rodriguez and Erick Galindo return for an all-new season of Out of the Shadows, this time to tell the story of the Dreamer Movement and the origins of DACA or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
Between 2006 and 2007, millions of people took to the streets to fight for immigration reform. The protests reached a climax on May 1st, 2006. Did La Gran Marcha influence the Dreamer Movement?
On June 15th, 2012 former President Barack Obama shocked the country when he walked onto the White House lawn and announced the executive order DACA or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. But who made it happen?
With a quick stroke of a pen President Barack Obama created DACA - but the application process wasn't easy. And it didn't include everyone. That created a lot of issues for the Dreamers.
After months of planning and years of organizing, a daring group of undocumented organizers embark on their most dangerous demonstration yet. The mission: bring home six Dreamers who were living in Mexico and could not benefit from DACA.
DACA left out millions for reasons of age, felony status or just plain bad luck. After the Obama administration kept hearing concerns about those that were left out, President Obama is pressured to do something, especially for the parents.
Luis Cortes Romero became a lawyer thanks to DACA but can he save the very program that granted him his work permit from President Donald Trump? A Supreme Court battle wages on to save Dreamers from deportation.
Whether it's taqueros or nurses, teachers, first responders, lawyers and so many others, DACA recipients contribute hundreds of billions of dollars to our economy.
The immigrant rights movement of today is not the same as it was 11 years ago. But it hasn't gone away. It's just gone viral. We break down how tools like TikTok and Instagram have changed the way Dreamers make moves to fight the system.
