The untimely death of a person of color had inspired many people to conduct protests against racism, violence, and injustice, not only in the United States but other countries as well. Protest rallies arising from George Floyd's death express the many vital issues surrounding his death. Celebrities and many people of color have participated in these protests either in person or through cyberspace. 

Undocumented Migrants Joining Rallies

People of color, immigrants, and other supporters of the cause of the rallies had been expressing their support through any means. However, an article alerts undocumented immigrants of the consequences if they get caught by the authorities joining the rallies. The article reveals that those who are under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program or the DACA program, who gets arrested for being involved in rallies such as those that were inspired by the death of George Floyd may lose their legal status to stay and work in the country. Also, they are at risk of deportation. 

To prevent arrest and deportation for DACA recipients or undocumented immigrants who want to support the fight against racism, injustice, and violence, the article suggests that they can donate or provide materials to legal organizations who support the same cause. 

The DACA Program

Currently, DACA recipients are still waiting for the decision of the Supreme Court about its legality due to the complaints involving its effects on the immigration laws of the United States. 

The decision will be impacted more or less 800,000 beneficiaries of the DACA program. DACA program recipients are also called 'dreamers,' according to an article.  

A termination to the program would affect not only the recipients of the program but also businesses that employ them. The Supreme Court is yet to decide the issue.
