Immigration activists marched from Chapel Hill to Raleigh, NC on Saturday January 11, 2014  to demand that in-state tuition rates be given to students who have received a temporary federal reprieve from deportation.  Around 40 activists ended the "March of Broken Dreams" with a mock funeral outside the office of state Attorney General Roy Cooper. The protesters charge that Cooper has been silent about whether students in the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program are entitled to the lower college tuition rates offered to in-state residents.
