As America marked 13 years since DACA was introduced, former President Barack Obama took to social media to defend the young immigrants known as Dreamers, saying they are “Americans in every way except on paper.”
His post wasn’t just symbolic it came at a moment of rising tension, as President Trump renewed calls for aggressive ICE raids across the country, targeting undocumented migrants in sanctuary cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago.
“Immigrants aren’t the enemy,” Obama wrote. “They’re teachers, doctors, soldiers, and students. DACA didn’t just protect them it made America better.”
The contrast between the two leaders couldn’t be clearer: One calling for deportation squads, the other pleading for protection, humanity, and reform.
Obama’s words resonated with millions who see the immigration debate not as a political issue but as a human one. And as federal agents ramp up arrests, especially in Latino communities, activists say the fear is real.
This week, DACA isn’t just a policy anniversary it’s a reminder of what’s at stake when politics forgets people.
