A program that protects undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children has once again been deemed unlawful. On Wednesday, a federal judge in Texas, Andrew Hanen, deemed that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, is illegal. It is the second time this judge has made this ruling. 7News spoke with a DACA recipient, or “Dreamer,” on Thursday who said she will not stop fighting for her future and those just like her.“We, my mother and I, basically fled our county because of gang members,” Illse Cruz said. “They actually killed my dad in front of me.”Cruz, 28, is a “Dreamer” who was born in Honduras. She made the move to the U.S. with her mother at just 6 years old.“I was undocumented until the age of 18. That’s when President Obama gave us Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals,” she said.Once again, the program that many like Cruz count on is up in the air.“DACA has allowed me to have a dr...

Peter Gabriel sat at his keyboard singing a ballad. A straight piano ballad — tender, sentimental, sweet — just hushed keys, strings, bass and Gabriel’s voice. Then, after four or five quiet minutes, the song, “Playing for Time,” bloomed into a crescendo of immense beauty: strings soaring, drums crashing.It all felt so new because, well, it was so new.For 30 years, Peter Gabriel didn’t look back.

Eventually, they will add up to new album “i/o.” On Th...
