Twelve years ago, on August 15, 2012, immigrant youth were able to apply for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program for the first time. Now, as hundreds of thousands of DACA recipients, DACA-eligible youth, and their families await a critical decision on the fate of the program, there is no time for the Biden Administration to wait. The Biden Administration must be prepared to unapologetically defend the rights, safety, and lives of DACA recipients and immigrant communities.
SIGN THIS PETITION and call on the Biden Administration to modernize and strengthen DACA and use every opportunity to provide protection and relief outside of DACA for DACA recipients, undocumented youth, and our communities.
With the future of DACA in the hands of the conservative 5th Circuit Court, DACA recipients are facing a real threat of deportation if DACA ends. The 5th Circuit Court has a long track record of anti-immigrant decisions. Without protections in place, millions of people could lose their jobs, be separated from their loved ones, and be at risk of deportation.
The Biden Administration risks setting up entire communities, cities, and our country at large for unimaginable hardship if they do not act with the urgency this moment requires to ensure DACA recipients and DACA-eligible youth continue to have access to live, work, and remain with their families.
President Biden must act NOW and take proactive measures to strengthen and expand protections for DACA recipients, DACA-eligible and non-eligible youth, and all others who call this country their home.
