"With swift action, Washington can provide Dreamers with a pathway to permanent immigration status, which will strengthen our economy and bolster our national security," the Council on National Security and Immigration said in a statement. 

The Biden administration is expected to appeal the case to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which also previously found DACA unlawful. Depending on when the Fifth Circuit rules, the case could reach the Supreme Court as early as the 2023-24 term or as late as spring 2025.  

USCIS confirmed in a statement yesterday that current grants of DACA and Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) remain valid until their expiration, unless individually terminated.

HIRE ACT — Business groups looking to welcome more foreign-born workers to address labor shortages have a serious opportunity in Rep. Tony Gonzales’ (R-TX) bill reforming the work-visa program, reports Andrea Drusch for the San Antonio Report. The HIRE Act would extend the amount of time foreign workers can stay in the United States on an H-2 visa. It also would allow for a faster renewal process by allowing remote interviews. 

COLLECTIVE EFFORTS — During National Migration Week, Bishop Mark J. Seitz of El Paso, Texas (a Forum board member) is emphasizing the importance of addressing the forces that drive people to migrate, Gina Christian writes in OSV News.
