Hi John, Last week, a Texas district court judge ruled the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was unlawful. The court decision is a major setback but this fight is far from over. The National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) remains committed to supporting young immigrants impacted by this decision and we're glad to have you with us. Together, we will continue fighting for a path to citizenship for undocumented young people, people with Temporary Protected Status (TPS), farm workers, essential workers, and millions of undocumented people in our communities. NIJC Executive Director Mary Meg McCarthy said, “Anything short of a permanent path to citizenship is unacceptable at this juncture. … Legalization has the support it needs to pass reconciliation. After today’s court ruling, there should be no delay in getting it done." Read Mary Meg's full statement about the DACA decision. Here is a quick summary of the decision: 1. Judge Hanen found the DACA program to be unlawful, but DACA renewals may continue for now.
2. The government can continue accepting new, first-time DACA applications but cannot process them. |
