DACA's uncertain future, streamlining disaster insurance, Roe v. Wade turns 45

Why a SoCal Dreamer is exhausted by DACA's lack of certainty, how a senator plans to help victims of disaster with insurance issues, Roe V. Wade & CA access.

LAS VEGAS, NV - SEPTEMBER 10:  Immigrants and supporters march on the Las Vegas Strip during a "We Rise for the Dream" rally to oppose U.S. President Donald Trump's order to end DACA on September 10, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program protects young immigrants who grew up in the U.S. after arriving with their undocumented parents from deportation to a foreign country. Trump's executive order removes protection for about 800,000 current "dreamers," about 13,000 of whom live in Nevada. Congress has the option to replace the policy with legislation before DACA expires on March 5, 2018.  (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)
