Out of the Shadows is a podcast about America’s tangled history of immigration. Last season, we tackled Ronald Regan’s 1986 amnesty act, season 2 will trace the origins of DACA or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a contentious executive order to protect undocumented young people from being deported. Issued by former President Barack Obama in 2012, DACA was meant to be a temporary stop gap on a broken immigration system. Hosted by award-winning New York Times writer Erick Galindo and entrepreneur and best-selling author Patty Rodriguez, welcome to season 2 of Out of the Shadows: Dreamers.
