     In the wake of the election of Republican Donald Trump as the United States’ 45 president, many are questioning upcoming policies regarding his election rhetoric about immigration, border security and undocumented immigrants. The Chronicle reached out to Yer Vang, immigration attorney with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Debuque to discuss legal matter regarding citizens, residents and those under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Information presented is from previous presentations that Vang has given throughout the state and direct questions.
     From Vang’s presentation, it should be noted that ahead of inauguration, it is unknown what President-elect Trump will enact regarding immigration laws and policies.
     Within the President-elect’s power of the executive branch is the ability to repeal previous executive orders (such as DACA) and dictating how many refugees can enter the country and from where. Along Trump’s campaign, he said that he would end DACA.
     Vang’s advice to those who are already classified under DACA is reapplications can still be submitted, but she encourages speaking with an immigration attorney prior.
