People En Español's Editor-in-Chief Sends Strong Message About Dreamers To Trump, by Armando Correa

The Justice Department announced plans to end the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in September, affecting the young lives of nearly 800,000 undocumented immigrants protected from deportation. Armando Correa, People en Español’s editor in chief, writes a personal reflection on what it really means to be a DREAMer and why we must raise our voices.  

We Are Americans

For the first time in our 20 year history at People en Español, we decided to sideline something that always graces our magazine covers: the lives of celebrities.

But for just one moment, let’s forget about the world of entertainment. Let’s dedicate some time to raise our voices in support of the young men and women who grace our November cover and who are among the more than 800,000 undocumented DREAMers protected by a policy established by President Barack Obama in 2012 —and are now under the threat of deportation after it was rescinded by President Donald Trump.
