Reverend: Congress has the opportunity, power, and moral responsibility to pass the Dream Act. DACA recipients are Americans in every way except on paper. From a Christian point of view, they are made in the very image and likeness of God.

US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.
