A newly revealed memo from President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team
sheds light on his plans to reverse immigration policies put in place by the
Obama administration, and asks for data on recipients of the Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals. This comes as more than 100 members of Congress sent a
letter to Obama in December asking him to take action to protect their names and
private information. "We all asked these young people to come forward, willingly
and voluntarily, and guaranteed them that the information about themselves, and,
more importantly, their parents and relatives in this country that might or
might not be undocumented, would be protected," says our guest Rep. Raúl
Grijalva, Democrat of Arizona and co-chair of the Congressional Progressive
Caucus. We also speak with César Zamudio, a freshman at Columbia University who
is an undocumented immigrant and a recipient of DACA.
