San Diego is home to Andrea Tecpoyotl Tepale. She was born in Mexico, but came to the U.S. with her mom and dad at just 4 years old, with dreams of higher education and getting a good job.
Friday marked the 11th anniversary of the implementation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy, an Obama-era program that protected undocumented migrants who came to the United States as children.
"In 2012, I remember my mom being extremely excited because she had heard the news, right, that you know, there was going to be a program, and that this program was going to allow me to have a work permit and that I was going to be here," she says. But Andrea's journey continued to have twists and turns. The same year DACA started, her dad was deported back to Mexico.
The Trump administration announced plans to rescind the program in 2017. But in 2020, the Supreme Court overruled that decision, allowing DACA to remain in place.
