Some of the people directly affected by President Donald Trump's decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival, or DACA, program spoke at Lehman College Monday night about some of the challenges they are now facing.
The DACA program allows people brought into the United States at a young age by parents who are undocumented to go to school, work, pay taxes and legally stay in the country.
Experts say those unsure about their DACA status should consult with a qualified legal service provider about permanent relief. They are also encouraged to get involved with issues affecting them.
DACA recipients with a permit set to expire before March 5, 2018 can apply for a two-year renewal by Oct. 5.
