Jirayut “New” Latthivongskorn immigrated to the United States with his family as a kid. They settled in the Bay Area, where they spent years living in the shadows as undocumented immigrants. They avoided visits to the doctor’s and anything that would get them noticed. Then came the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which gave Latthivongskorn temporary protection from deportation — and the chance to work as a physician himself. Now, the Trump Administration has threatened the fate of DACA, and Latthivongskorn is heading to the Supreme Court to fight back.
