The White House announces a new initiative to expand health care coverage to more than 100,000 young immigrants protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. This is the first time recipients will be covered since the program was implemented over a decade ago.
In a statement, President Biden said his administration seeks to "preserve and fortify" the DACA program, which allows so-called "dreamers"— those who were brought into the country without documentation as children— to work and live in the United States.
