DACA Recipient Wins Race Against Time, Secures Permission To Represent Native Country At Olympics

U.S. immigration policy collided with an Olympic dream this week. It all began when Luis Grijalva placed second in the 5,000-meter race at the NCAA track and field championship in June. The track star ran his personal best of 13:13:14 for Northern Arizona University – narrowly beating the automatic qualifying Olympic Games standard of 13:13:50 – and beat the national record in his native country Guatemala, winning him a spot at the Tokyo Olympics. But Grijalva’s status as a beneficiary of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, put his Olympic hopes in jeopardy. The program doesn’t allow him to leave the U.S. and return, so Grijalva and his immigration attorney Jessica Smith Bobadilla got to work and filed for special permission to travel.
