Race to raise college scholarship money for Dreamers

CICERO, Ill. (AP) - Students at a suburban Chicago college are holding a 5K run to raise money for scholarships for children of undocumented immigrants who are ineligible for federal financial aid.

Morton College's annual HOPE Scholarship 5K Run/Walk will be held Sunday at Morton West High School in Berwyn.

Student organizers at the college in Cicero first held the race two years ago. Since then, four students who were brought by their parents to the United States illegally as children - known as Dreamers - have received scholarships. Student organizers say they expect this year's race will raise enough money for five more scholarships.

Such students are at the center of a battle over former President Barack Obama's program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals that President Donald Trump ended last year.
