The US Supreme Court is considering a case that could put hundreds and thousands of people who were brought into the country illegally as children at risk of deportation. Some of those are healthcare workers dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.
At the beginning of April a long line of police cars snaked slowly around a hospital in Winston-Salem, North Carolina with their blue lights flashing in the bright sun. It was a tribute, they said, to the healthcare workers risking their lives to treat patients with Covid-19.
But for Jonathan Vargas Andres, an ICU nurse treating Covid patients in that hospital, these grand gestures feel somewhat empty.
He's worked in intensive care for four years in the same unit as his wife and brother - who are nurses too - and the past week has seen a spike in cases on the ward.
Jonathan is also undocumented.
"I try not to think about it because if I think about it for too long I get tired," Jonathan says. "I've basically had to zone it out for my own health."
He speaks deliberately in a soft, southern drawl. "It's fear more than anything."
Jonathan is a recipient of Daca - or the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals. It's an Obama-era ruling from 2012 that shielded young people who were brought to the US illegally as children from deportation.
It provided them with work and study permits. Jonathan came from Mexico when he was 12.
In 2017, President Trump decided to end the Daca programme.
The Supreme Court is now considering a series of cases that challenge Trump's decision and is expected to release its rulings before the end of June on whether stopping the programme was unlawful.

Well that’s simple. You can’t.
Mexico needs nurses too!
Added fakenews as a keyword.
Why?
Because this is just another example of the MSM cherry picking a non event in another lame attempt to make Trump and/or conservatives look bad.
There may be an element of truth behind fake news. But their agenda is always false.
Agreed. The fake news media tells a story, not the story.
They need health care workers in Mexico.
A girl who graduated high school with my daughter is a “doctor” in Mexico. Her mother was deported just after my daughter graduated. The daughter left with her mom. She went to college there and has done very well.
