Washington, DC – Chanting “home is here” outside the US Capitol building, dozens of migrants who came to the United States as children and their supporters have called on lawmakers to protect a programme that shields them from deportation.
The protest on Thursday came just hours after a US appeals court affirmed a lower court’s ruling that deemed the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) programme “unlawful” – and leaving the scheme’s future uncertain.
