Donald Trump said he would repeal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, an Obama-era policy that granted a work permit and temporary protection from deportation to children that came to the U.S. with unregistered parents.

The Atlantic spoke with these medical students and residents about the anxiety surrounding the future.
