We sat down with a huge number of people and listened to Sara talk. She touched on all different topics but the main point was to teach everyone in the room how to accompany undocumented immigrants through different scenarios without offending them and helping them as much as possible. Accompanying is when people like us accompany undocumented immigrants or regular immigrants through ICE hearings, court cases, and etc. in order to make sure they are not taken advantage of.

Interview With a DACA Recipient
by Wyatt W
My group and I had the rare opportunity of interviewing a DACA recipient. This is hard because most DACA recipients avoid getting interviews because of the recent rescinding of DACA. They don’t want to get exposed to the government as once the government has their name, they have their address and can show up at the immigrant’s door as soon as January 1st, 2019 and deport them back to their country they lived in before they crossed the border. For that reason, this DACA recipient chose to remain anonymous.
