DACA recipient becomes Rhodes scholar

Michael Burke for The Hill reports on an immigration first:

“A recipient of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is among the 32 people selected as members of the latest U.S. Rhodes Scholar class.

Jin Kyu Park, the DACA recipient, is currently an undergraduate student at Harvard University studying molecular and cellular biology. He is the first DACA recipient to receive a Rhodes Scholarship, which provides full funding for students to attend the University of Oxford.”
