CT: Rally Bolsters CCSU Students Whose Parents Face Deportation (Includes video)
Hartford Courant – September 15, 2017
Central Connecticut State University students rallied Thursday in support of two of their classmates whose parents have been ordered to leave the country by Sept. 29. A little over a week after U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced he would begin winding down the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, Jose Diaz spoke at CCSU about the Obama-era policy that, for the past five years, has shielded him from deportation and allowed him to work. Some of the students at the rally had no idea their peers’ parents were being deported. “It’s just unbelievable,” said Sabrina Maldona, a senior sociology major. “They have to live their life now without their support system. You need your family.”
