A second-rack bagel that's nearly first-rack. Tasty stuff.
Summary
The article tells the story of Guadalupe Ceja Hernandez, a DACA recipient who was fired by Waukegan Unit School District 60 despite being legally authorized to work. The author criticizes the school board for its hypocritical and cowardly decision, framing it as part of a broader pattern of injustice under the Trump administration's immigration policies. The piece highlights the bureaucratic absurdity of punishing a DACA recipient who followed all the rules, while the school district that hired her now claims it cannot employ her due to her immigration status.
