Maria, give me a hug.

Last Tuesday, I attended a protest outside the Supreme Court, which is in the midst of hearing

arguments on whether the Trump

administration can suspend the Obama-era deferred action for childhood arrivals, or DACA program.

The young people who registered under DACA, known as Dreamers, came to the U.S. as children,

many of them remembering little of life before their arrival.

DACA provides a kind of temporary shelter from deportation.

But of course, the Trump administration is doing everything in its power to destroy even this limited program.

I ran into Belen Sisa, Latino Press Secretary for the Bernie 2020 campaign, a dreamer herself.

How are you guys?

Good.

In awe. I've never been in front of the Supreme Court.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Belin told me what was at stake, why so many had gathered at the steps of the Supreme Court.

Right now, we have a huge crowd of allies, DACA recipients, undocumented youth and their families,

who just watched the plaintiffs leave the court and after today, hopefully we'll be able to find out

if the DACA program is seen as constitutional in the eyes of the highest court in the land.

And this could mean the difference between undocumented youth being at risk of deportation or being allowed to stay in this country without fear.

As I wandered through the crowd, I was struck not just by the passion

and energy of those around me, but also by their clarity, the way they cut through both the

administration's nonsense and the medias detached both sides' coverage of the issue.
