'Death by a Thousand Cuts': The Crackdown of DACA Under Trump

Once a protected group of immigrants, people with DACA are now being detained and deported under the Trump administration. More than half a million people brought to the U.S. as children have gone through the rigorous process to get this protected status over the last 14 years, so what's happening to their status now? We bring you the latest from NBC News' Nicole Acevedo and take a look back at the program's history with organizer Neidi Dominguez, who helped make DACA a reality under the Obama administration.
