Press Play with Madeleine Brand
Dreamers under Trump President Trump’s travel ban has already affected Muslims across the country. But he’s also said he wants to crack down on undocumented immigrants who are already here, which could have an even greater impact. If Trump reverses President Obama’s temporary protection for young people who were brought here as children, it could put some 800,000 people at risk of being deported.
