FEDERAL JUDGE RULES DACA PROGRAMME FOR CHILDHOOD UNDOCUMENTED ‘DREAMERS’ IS ILLEGAL

Defenders of the program said they would fight to protect it. “This decision is not the final word on DACA,” said Blanca Gamez, a DACA recipient and staff member at the American Civil Liberties Union. “The United States is our home, and no court decision can change that. This ruling is wrong on the law, but sends a clear message: Congress must act to provide permanent protections and a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and the millions of other undocumented residents who call this nation home.” Faisal Al-Juburi, spokesperson for RAICES said: “We’ve said this before, and we’ll repeat it: Relying on the courts to protect DACA is not a viable strategy to protect our communities from deportation. Congress and the Biden administration must create a pathway to citizenship for all undocumented people in the U.S. The time for waiting is over.” Read more at The Independent.
