"The Board of Immigration Appeals recently ruled that DACA status is not enough to spare someone from deportation, a decision that sets a precedent potentially putting hundreds of thousands of people at risk."
"Democratic Congressmember Delia Ramirez calls the BIA decision 'very concerning' and part of a larger effort 'weaponizing the court system' against immigrants."
"Nearly 300 DACA recipients were detained last year, with at least 174 deported, many after living nearly all their lives in the United States."
"María de Jesús Estrada Juárez, a DACA recipient, was detained during her green card appointment and deported to Mexico within 24 hours despite her DACA status."
The Trump administration continues to undermine the DACA program, which provides deportation relief and work permits to immigrants who arrived as children. A recent ruling by the Board of Immigration Appeals states that DACA status does not protect individuals from deportation, endangering hundreds of thousands. Democratic Congressmember Delia Ramirez emphasizes the need for legislative action to resolve the uncertainty faced by DACA recipients. The targeting of DACA recipients has escalated, with significant detentions and deportations occurring under the current administration.
