Home Is My Birthplace A DACA Holder Speaks From Iowa
Ariel Barrios, 19, of Cedar Rapids, renews DACA with Catholic Charities while his parents pursue relief from deportation. He grew up in the U S with Mexican-born parents, one of whom was deported in 2017, and he fears visiting his native country. Barrios works at La Cantina while planning college in Connecticut, arguing DACA is imperfect yet essential for immigrants who have paid taxes and built lives here. Local aid groups push to expand legal services to help migrants attend distant court hearings and secure relief.
