JUDY WOODRUFF:

About 65,000 undocumented students graduate from U.S. high schools each year. Most are protected from deportation because of an Obama administration policy, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, which allows those brought here illegally at a young age to go to school and get work permits.

President Trump tried to reassure those young people, often called dreamers, again this week that he doesn't plan to go after them. But a lawsuit filed last week claimed one dreamer has been deported, and DACA students are on edge.

Special correspondent Kavitha Cardoza of our partner Education Week traveled to Los Angeles and spoke to three DACA recipients to see how their lives have changed.

We have agreed to use only their first or middle names. This is part of our weekly series on education, Making the Grade.
