A ‘Dreamer’ lives in limbo as he launches his career
Kevin Ortiz has many dreams, but we’ll start with three:

Ortiz is 27 years old and a “Dreamer.” He became a legal resident of the U.S. in 2013 through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival policy enacted by President Barack Obama.
His DACA eligibility expires next year, and it’s unclear where that will leave him.
