DACA, John Lennon & Obama
Episode 3
Wednesday, 3 March, 2021
Beatles legend, John Lennon, helped to shed light on the government's policy on deferred action and paved the way to DACA. DACA is a program initiated by President Obama that temporarily protects young people, commonly known as Dreamers, from deportation. In this episode we discuss why deferred action has been a critical part of U.S. immigration policy. We also speak to two Dreamers who have benefited from DACA, including one who was the first person to use the "Morton Memo" to halt her deportation.
