(L to R) Paola Soria and Karla Collaguazo, both 20 and 'dreamers' originally from Ecuador, listen to Attorney General Jeff Sessions' remarks on ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program on a smartphone before a protest in Grand Army Plaza in Manhattan, Sept. 5, 2017. On Tuesday, the Trump administration announced they will end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, with a six month delay. The decision represents a blow to young undocumented immigrants (also known as 'dreamers') who were shielded from deportation under DACA.
