11. DACA kids are not "being rounded up"

I mean, they could be in the future, but they all enjoy the same legal status today that they did a year ago. The program will expire in March in the absence of a legislative fix. The issue is that at that point, the government that could begin deporting them conveniently has all of their information about where they live, work, and go to school. That makes them "easy pickings" for deportation, though there is nothing to say that they'd be a deportation priority.
