· KRGV (NBC 5)
DACA recipients in Texas face an uncertain future as a federal court ruling could end their ability to work legally in the state. Itzayana Mondragón, a 26-year-old nurse and landowner in Cedar Creek, fears losing her job and home due to delays in DACA renewals. Many recipients, including Jesús Álvarez and Diana Maldonado, share similar anxieties, with some experiencing deportations of family members. The ongoing legal battle over DACA, initiated by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, threatens the livelihoods of approximately 80,000 DACA recipients in Texas, forcing them to consider relocating or facing life without legal status.
