Friend, last week, a federal judge held a hearing in a
case in which Texas and eight other Republican-led states are looking to
completely shut down DACA and expose nearly 600,000 DACA recipients to the
threat of deportation.

The judge’s ruling on the legality of DACA will come any day now — but we aren’t
waiting for his decision to act with urgency, and neither should Congress.

Please, our representatives need to hear us loud and
clear: We cannot wait for another court decision to determine the futures of
immigrant youth in this country. We need the permanency and stability of a
pathway to citizenship NOW >>>

URGENT: EMAIL CONGRESS
[[link removed]]The threat to DACA is real. The same judge presiding over this case ruled
against DACA in 2021, barring first-time applicants from the program. The impact
was devastating — hundreds of thousands of young immigrants were denied the
ability to go to college, pursue careers, and build their lives in the country
they know as home.

Sadly, DACA’s precarious state is not “breaking news.” For years, we’ve been sounding the alarm and advocating for a permanent
solution. In fact, it’s been 20 years since NILC helped draft the original DREAM
Act. In just days, 11 years will have passed since DACA was first announced.
Year after year, and in court case after court case, we have fought on behalf of
immigrant youth — all the while Congress has failed to act.

We cannot wait any longer. Join us, as we send an urgent message to our elected
officials that they must do their jobs and pass a permanent solution for
immigrant youth before it’s too late >>>

URGENT: EMAIL CONGRESS
[[link removed]]Like we’ve done before, and with the odds stacked against us, this movement will
show the world that our community is united, powerful, and undeterred. Together,
we will send a resounding message that our home is here, and we are here to
stay.

Thank you,

Kica Matos
