Jose Rico, center, and Alicia Torres-Don, left, listen to Alicia’s brother Jose Torres-Don, right, during a planning meeting of the N.C. Dream Team in Raleigh on Friday. The organization composed of undocumented immigrant youth and their allies was drafting a response to President Barack Obama’s announcement that the U.S. would stop deporting some young illegal immigrants who were brought into the country as children. Rico and his fellow team members were skeptical. “We’re not going to believe the president until we see it happen,” he said. “We’ve been down this road before.”
