The DACA program and the hundreds of thousands of people protected by DACA are now at grave risk. On October 5, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals found that the DACA program was unlawful and sent the case back to the lower court to consider the Biden administration’s new DACA regulation. On October 14, Judge Hanen partially blocked the DACA regulations from going into effect.

While the DACA initiative has provided deportation protections and work authorizations to over 800,000 of people who arrived to the United States as children, this temporary solution has been hanging in the balance in face of multiple legal challenges and administrative attempts to end the program. It has never been more urgent for Congress to pass a permanent solution to protect and defend Dreamers and other people who are undocumented – many of whom are essential workers, first responders, friends, neighbors, and colleagues.

We know that the only way to provide permanent protection is for Congress to act NOW.

TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress that the time for temporary steps is over, we need permanent solutions NOW. Be sure to customize your message by drawing from your professional or personal experience to explain the need to pass permanent protections for Dreamers and people who are undocumented.
