DACA recipient Javier Kistte poses for a portrait outside his home. Kistte is a UC Irvine graduate now working for a visual effects company. He came to the US from Mexico when he was eight years old. Kistte said that DACA permitted him and his brother to finish their degrees by allowing them to work to pay for tuition.
“My parents are still undocumented and as a family we struggle with the anxiety that it’s possible for them to get deported at any moment. That anxiety has now risen with the uncertainty that me and my brother might return to having undocumented status.”
