An undocumented migrant justice activist has won the right to remain in the U.S. after the Department of Homeland Security reversed its decision to punish her because of her activism. Ireri Unzueta Carrasco received DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, status in 2013, but had been denied a renewal of DACA earlier this year because of her participation in acts of civil disobedience aimed at pressuring the Obama administration to halt its record deportations. Unzueta Carrasco says she’ll now focus on protecting other undocumented activists who have similarly been denied DACA after participating in protests.
