[Dreamers reflect on DACA as the program turns 7 and faces Trump's challenge](
Emma Chalott Barron remembers June 15, 2012.
She huddled around the TV that day with her parents and watched as President Barack Obama announced the creation of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a program that would change hundreds of thousands of lives.
Chalott Barron, then 15, didn’t understand the technical aspects of the program. But she knew life was about to get better.
Dreamers, [unauthorized immigrants brought to the U.S. as children like herself]( would be able to get renewable two-year work permits and a reprieve from deportation as long as they met specific criteria.
"In that moment, I thought my life was going to change," Chalott Barron said.
Seven years later, June 15 is a bittersweet reminder for Chalott Barron and close to 700,000 active DACA beneficiaries. Â

[Black pastors, elected officials show 'unquestionable support' for U. Reneé Hall](
Religious leaders, elected officials and community members defended Dallas police Chief U. Reneé Hall on Friday and called on the city to address the underlying factors they say have caused a recent surge in violent crime.
"We are here to show our unquestionable support for Chief Hall," Mayor Pro Tem Casey Thomas said to [a crowd of about 50 people who showed up at police headquarters for a news conference and rally]( held by the African American Pastors Coalition.
Days earlier, the local chapter of the National Latino Law Enforcement Organization called for Hall's ouster. Sgt. George Aranda, the chapter's president, said his organization had passed a no-confidence vote on Hall based on her "lack of leadership."

[Paul McCartney created powerful memories on week when rock music needed them](
As the sun set around 8:30 p.m. on Friday in Arlington's Globe Life Park, the legendary 76-year old former Beatle strolled onto the stage with his (remarkable) band and immediately kicked into a rollicking performance of "Hard Day's Night." With his long hair waving in the wind and an energetic bounce in his delivery, it seemed as if Sir Paul had been driven to the show in a time machine stocked with sparkling water sourced from the Fountain of Youth. The 55-year-old "Can't Buy Me Love" was delivered early on, and there may not be another septuagenarian alive capable of singing a teeny-bopping ditty like that with as much authentic verve.
At times, the atmosphere of the past week made itself felt on stage. As he has long done, McCartney ended his Wings-era hit "Let Me Roll It" with a Jimi Hendrix-style "Foxy Lady" jam. When the song finished, he told us a story he's told millions of people over many decades about when he met Hendrix and the iconic guitar legend stopped his own concert to ask Eric Clapton to come help him tune his guitar.
[As much as he resides on a mythical, musical Mount Olympus, McCartney is also, thankfully, a living, breathing historical figure.](
