C: Rosario Macias, 37, has built her life around protecting her 13-year-old son, Adan. A single mother and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient, she’s faced hardship and instability but dedicates all of her time to supporting her family.
With President Trump’s increased hostility toward immigration and targeting of policies such as DACA, recipients face renewed fears of deportation, family separation and the loss of basic protections that allow them to provide for their children and contribute to their communities in the only country they’ve ever known.
Despite the challenges, Rosario remains grounded in her love for her son. “As a single parent, at the end of the day, he only has me.”
Caption: Adan Macias and his mother, Rosario Macias, rest in their bed on Sunday, June 1, 2025, in their home in Daly City, California. On Sundays, the two spend as much time together as possible, even if it’s just resting in bed.
