Anti-immigration rhetoric has consistently impacted the lives of immigrant young adults who are Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients. This qualitative study sheds light on the lived psychological experiences of 21 Latinx DACA recipients who were impacted by the political debates during the Trump administration. Content analysis revealed four main psychological impacts resulting from the DACA political debates: stress, fear, anxiety, and depressive symptomatology). Through these experiences, individuals who perceived being impacted by these political debates described three main strengths (i.e., luchando adelante, positive outlook, and DACA+ethnic pride) that assisted them. Finally, participants noted three main strategies (i.e., social and family support, religiosity/spirituality, and social advocacy) that also served them during the DACA political debates. These findings provide implications for practices and policies that foster healing from ethno-racial trauma in Latinx immigrant communities.

反移民的言论一直影响着年轻移民的生活，这些年轻人是推迟到达儿童行动（DACA）的接收者。这项定性研究揭示了特朗普政府期间受到政治辩论影响的21名拉丁裔DACA接受者的真实心理经历。内容分析显示，DACA政治辩论产生了四种主要的心理影响：压力，恐惧，焦虑和抑郁症状。通过这些经验，认为受到这些政治辩论影响的个人描述了三个主要优势（即luchando adelante，积极的态度和DACA +民族自豪感）为他们提供了帮助。最后，与会者指出了在DACA政治辩论期间也为他们服务的三种主要策略（即，社会和家庭支持，宗教信仰/精神和社会倡导）。这些发现为促进拉丁裔移民社区的种族种族创伤得到治愈的做法和政策提供了启示。
