First DACA recipient to become Rhodes scholar fears he won’t be allowed to return to US

A Harvard University student who was the first-ever recipient of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to win the Rhodes Scholarship, said he fears he will not be allowed to return to the U.S. if he leaves the country to further his education.

Jin Park, who lives in New York City, told The Associated Press that he fears he would not be allowed back in the country if he enrolls at the University of Oxford this fall due to President Trump's decision to rescind overseas travel for those with DACA status.

"If I leave, there's a very real possibility that I won't be able to come back. That's the biggest fear for sure," Park told the AP. "I haven't really thought about what that's going to mean if I'm not allowed back."

Park immigrated to the U.S. with his family from South Korea when he was 7 years old.

He shouldn't be leaving, there's no guarantee they'd let him in at a port of entry.

I would hope that nothing serious would happen. But then again. It's Trump's administration. So...

With advanced parole he would be allowed to return. Unless he did something wrong while he was gone, but advanced parole is relatively safe.
