A Young Military Family Keeps the Dream Alive

Jun 27, 2018

This week, Ali talks with DACA recipient Esmeralda Tovar-Contreras. She's the mother of a 19-month-old baby and her fiance is in the U.S. Army. As thousands of Dreamers are threatened with deportation by the Trump administration's decision to rescind DACA, Esmeralda hasn't moved back in to the shadows. Instead, she debated the issue in heated exchanges on late-night TV with a group of voters who oppose DACA. 

Plus, we deconstruct the ruling behind President Trump's ban on travel from 7 mostly Muslim-majority countries.
