Dear Friend,

Earlier this week, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals gave a temporary
reprieve to current DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals)
recipients. This is great because DACA is a critical program that ensures
people who were brought to the U.S. as children can live and work in the
communities where they grew up. However, it is very clear that the DACA
program is in grave peril, primarily because Congress has failed to create
permanent protections for the hundreds of thousands of people who were
brought to this country as children, making it the only place they have
ever called home.

[ [link removed] ]Only Congress can protect DACA recipients now and provide permanent
protections for them by passing legislation before the end of the year!

What’s happening? Thankfully, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals just
decided to allow people in the DACA program to renew their status – for
now – but is sending a case challenging the legality of the DACA program
back to the lower court to consider the new Biden administration
regulation fortifying the program.

The Fifth Circuit decision is a reprieve, a warning, and an urgent call to
action for Congress to act for the lives of more than 800,000 DACA
recipients who have built their lives here, who have started their
families, who have served their communities throughout the pandemic. More
than 1.3 million people across the country live with a DACA recipient,
including 300,000 U.S. born children who have at least one parent
protected under DACA. [1] Ending the DACA program could result in the
separation of hundreds of thousands of families.

Dear Members of Congress:

While the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals decision is a temporary
reprieve, the DACA program is in grave peril and Congress must take
immediate action to create permanent protections for the hundreds of
thousands of people who were brought to this country as children, making
it the only place they have ever called home. They are our health care
providers, teachers, and care workers. They hold essential jobs that
strengthen our communities. Many are parents who are at risk for being
separated from their families. They deserve a path to citizenship and
for the uncertainty about their futures to end. Every immigrant deserves
to be treated with dignity, compassion and respect. Please act before
the end of 2022 to put permanent protections into place for DACA
recipients.

permanent protections for DACA recipients. *When you click, you’ll
