Colorado students vow resistance to Trump's DACA decision
DENVER (AP) — Hundreds of high school and college students rallied all over Colorado to protest President Donald Trump's decision to roll back a program that would protect immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as minors.
Protesters converged on the Auraria campus of Metropolitan State University in Denver to hear speakers denounce the repeal of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA, and demand that Congress act. Many held posters reading, "Accept my resistance and expect my resistance" and "No borders, no nations, no racists, no deportations."
The program has provided nearly 800,000 young immigrants, including 17,000 in Colorado, a reprieve from deportation and the ability to work legally in the U.S.
