(Gazette photo) Protesters target Congressman Paul Ryan’s Janesville home to support new protections for immigrants often called “Dreamers.”  Lighted letters spelling DREAM ACT NOW moved steadily down St. Lawrence Avenue Thursday night as more than 100 protesters marched through the Republican House Speaker’s neighborhood to demand protection for young undocumented immigrants.  The march and vigil were part of the National Day of Action for a Clean Dream Act, in which protesters nationwide voiced their support for the Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals program, also known as DACA.   President Donald Trump’s administration has vowed to rescind the program, which protects from deportation undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children.  The administration has given Congress a window of time to enact new protections.
