Steve Li is a nursing student at San Francisco’s City College who narrowly avoided deportation to Peru last November, after a massive outpouring of community support and Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s decision to introduce a private bill to delay his removal from the United States. Now,  Li has issued a short video in anticipation of the President’s State of the Union address, in which he asks Obama  if he can commit to a moratorium on deportations of DREAM Act-eligible youth.

Watch Li’s video:

then watch the President’s address to see what happens.
