On this episode of "Only in America" Ali speaks with DACA recipient Esmeralda Tovar-Contreras.

Esmeralda Tovar-Contreras is a DACA recipient, mother of a 19-month-old baby, and her fiance is in the U.S. Army. As thousands of Dreamers are threatened with deportation by the Trump administration’s decision to rescind DACA, Esmeralda hasn’t moved back in to the shadows. Instead, she debated the issue in heated exchanges on late-night TV with a group of voters who oppose DACA.

Plus, we deconstruct the ruling behind President Trump’s ban on travel from 7 mostly Muslim-majority countries.
