It 
offered 
undocumented 

immigrants 
who 
came 
to 

the United States as minors 
the opportunity to receive 
deferred 
action 
from 

deportation and eligibility for 
a renewable, two-year work 
permit. To qualify, applicants 
must have all lived in the 
United States before the age 
of 16, not having any felonies 
or serious misdemeanors and 
living 
continuously 
in 
the 

United States since July 15, 
2007.

One of these individuals is 

LSA freshman Sandra Perez. 
Perez grew up in the United 
States and discussed DACA’s 
importance not only in her life 
but also in the lives of others.

“It really has no effect on 

other people besides DACA 
students, but it’s great to 
advocate 
for 
them,” 
Perez 

said. “For myself, being a 
DACA student, I feel that 
it really empowers me and 
other students. There are so 

many benefits from DACA, 
for me it’s my driver’s license, 
social security and so much 
more. Trump’s removal of the 
DACA program is absolutely 
insane, and it really doesn’t 
make sense because there are 
so many students benefitting 
from the program.”

LSA 
freshman 
Michelle 

Alvarez 
echoed 
Perez’s 

statement and discussed how 
the policy has helped many 
people in her own life.

“Although I’m not a DACA 

student, I have a lot of family 
and friends that benefitted a 
lot from DACA,” Alvarez said. 
“I just want to support my 
friends and family because it’s 
very important for them to stay 
and study.”

Alvarez acknowledged that 

the United States is the only 
home that many of the DACA 
recipients know.

“I strongly disagree with 

what Trump is doing,” Alvarez 
said. “Some of the DACA 
students came here when they 
were young. I have a friend 
who came to the U.S. at the 
age of one, so it’s like taking 

away who she is because she 
basically grew up here, and 
just deporting her to another 
country that she doesn’t know 
is wrong.”

Perez worries the repeal will 

create an atmosphere of fear 
for many DACA students, and 
cause them to become afraid 
to stand up for themselves 
because 
of 
the 
threat 
of 

deportation.

“Because 
of 
the 
DACA 

repeal, many students won’t 
feel as powerful; they will 
go back into hiding, and they 
won’t speak up for what they 
believe,” Perez said. 

Though 
the 
repeal 
has 

caused 
distress 
for 
many 

people, both Perez and Stenvig 
are hopeful that the BAMN 
rally and other actions from 
the University community will 
protect the students who are 
affected.

“I’m 
hoping 
that 
the 

University 
goes 
against 

Trump,” Perez said. “I feel 
like the U of M community 
can empower its students and 
include its diverse components. 
They can just try to help the 

students feel at home, feel 
like it’s safe, and feel like 
you can come here and find 
comfort. For me especially, 
I feel like if the University 
said, ‘We welcome you,’ then 
I’d feel like, ‘Hey, I want to 
go to U of M and I want to 
stay here.’ I want them to 
make me feel included and 
not make me feel alienated.”

Stenvig is also impressed 

with the amount of support 
the movement has received 
and is confident people will 
continue to remain united.

“We’ve already seen a 

huge outpouring of support, 
even on the first day,” Stenvig 
said. 
“People 
are 
really 

outraged about this, and I 
think what we especially 
want to communicate is that 
we are really strong and that 
we can see this isn’t the end 
of DACA and that we have to 
respond to this as this is our 
moment to come out strong 
and keep marching until 
we get rid of Trump and his 
policies.”

Every Wednesday, the Michigan 
Daily will be asking a University 
faculty member, staff member 
or student what the University 
bicentennial means to them. 

“It feels like a momentous time 
to join the University...I will be 
learning about the last 200 
years starting today. I came 
from D.C. when I got this job, 
and I certainly noticed a deep 
love of Michigan that is in many, 
many, many places. I wouldn’t 
be able to say what’s new at the 
University because it’s all new 
to me, but there is certainly a 
lot of excitement. I teach early 
American History so it’s an 
exciting opportunity to come 
here to talk about the history 
of Michigan and the University 
being a part of that history for 
a long time 
— a lot longer time 

than other Universities.”

Scott Larsen, first year lecturer 
in American Culture
