Students will assist CCCTX clients at a one-day clinic for individuals (aka "Dreamers") whose original DACA status is expiring and who are eligible for a two-year renewal of that status. Individuals with DACA status are eligible to receive a work permit and have temporary administrative relief from deportation.
