"If the courts and the opposition who want DACA to end, succeed then that means that hundreds of thousands of dreamers like us will lose our ability to work and contribute to this country."
3. Protestors walk out of court with linked arms chanting "home is here"
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Nina Perales, Vice President, Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund:
"We’re asking the court to dismiss the case and there would be no more litigation and DACA would be safe. That is because we believe this case doesn’t belong in the courts in the first place."

STORYLINE:
Immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children are among demonstrators who gathered outside a federal courthouse in New Orleans where appellate judges heard arguments over a policy shielding them from deportation.

At stake in the case that a panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard Thursday is the future of hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have long-established lives in the U.S.

The policy is called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

Texas and eight other states are challenging the policy.

It began under former President Barack Obama and is being defended by President Joe Biden’s administration.
