March 19 - As SCOTUS Deliberates, Somos Tells KSFR How US v. Texas Ruling Could Impact NM Families

The Supreme Court of the United States yesterday heard oral arguments in US v. Texas, a case that will uphold or strike down President Barack Obama’s executive action to shield about 4 million undocumented immigrants from deportation. In 2014, Obama unveiled Deferred Action for Parents of Americans, or DAPA, for short. But implementation of the action has been blocked by an injunction since early 2015.

KSFR’s Kate Powell checked in with Marcela Diaz of Somos Un Pueblo Unido. Marcela explains what DAPA was designed to do.

KSFR will continue to report on this Supreme Court case as it moves forward.
