Brooklyn Law School holds town hall on DACA and immigrants’ rights
Brooklyn Law School hosted a town hall meeting in Downtown Brooklyn on Monday where a group of professors and one current student discussed the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, the legal arguments supporting it and what alternatives DACA recipients have.
Professors Stacy Caplow, Maryellen Fullerton, Susan Hazeldean and Dan Smulian led the discussion with the student, who is currently in her second year, and whose name is being withheld for her protection. While the professors discussed aspects of the law, it was the student’s story that grabbed the attention of everyone at the meeting.
