Unlawful Trump's DACA Policy

Since President Trump decided to cruelly end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in September, hundreds of thousands of immigrant youth across the country live in fear of what their future holds. 

 

Recently, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals was the first appeals court to weigh in on whether President Trump’s termination of DACA was unlawful. Their decision could bring immigrant youth more breathing room as we pressure Congress to do the right thing and pass the Dream Act. 

If Congress passed a clean Dream Act, immigrant youth would finally have protected legal status and a clearer future.
