DACA recipients demand congressional action to ensure they have a pathway to citizenship and permanent protection.
In 2012, the Obama administration introduced the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, protecting all eligible immigrants who came to the U.S. as children from deportation.
"It was this anxiety of am I going to be able to be a dentist," Ramirez said."Am I going to be able to continue practicing dentistry, everything that I went to school for?" Hundreds of DACA recipients and supporters rallied at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, calling on Congress to guarantee equal opportunity under DACA and the creation of a substantial pathway to citizenship. Though their backgrounds and languages vary, from Union Station to the Capitol, they walked together chanting the same message:"Sin papeles, Sin miedo" and"Undocumented unafraid.
"My nephew is incarcerated ... two years for a crime he did not commit, now he is in detention by ICE awaiting deportation," she said."Stop deportation and keep families united."
