Luis Grijalva the first known DACA recipient to qualify for the Olympics headed to Tokyo Friday to compete in next week s 5,000 meter-race, representing his native Guatemala.

Grijalva is a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient who will travel to Japan on Friday to represent Guatemala in the 5,000-meter race at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. He and his lawyer spent several weeks petitioning US Citizenship and Immigration Services for a special permit known as advance parole that allows DACA recipients to reenter the US after traveling abroad. ....
