For Friday’s installment of CBS Evening News, correspondent Lilia Luciano decided to profile Brenda Martinez, a 28-year old California DACA recipient who has chosen to self-deport.

Luciano estimated that “When it comes to DACA, there is a group that was advising Brenda and other people like her. They tell me in their Facebook group alone, that membership has doubled from 3,000 to 6,000 people who are seeking that guidance and resources to leave the country.”
