“It’s been extremely challenging for undocumented youth across the country, but especially here in Houston," one organizer says.
A GOP senator drew headlines for saying the president could extend a program that helps Dreamers.
President Donald Trump gave young undocumented immigrants only a month to extend their work permits.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Members of Congress are split on whether to tie the fate of young undocumented immigrants to other measures that could sink a deal.
Nearly every current Senate Republican opposed the Dream Act in 2010, but some shifted on a broader immigration bill in 2013.
New polling suggests the president's opinion could sway some, but not all, of his base on the issue.
This is how Southern Baptist pastor Robert Jeffress justifies ending protections for Dreamers.
"No deal was made last night," he said.
"Trump just screwed his base."
