<p>Today, the Obama Administration announced that DREAM students – students brought to the United States as young children, do not present a risk to national security or public safety, and meet several key criteria – will be granted relief from the threat of deportation and become eligible for work permits. This announcement marks the most significant effort by the U.S. government to provide relief to these students since the House of Representatives passed the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act in 2010.<i><br /></i></p>
