Washington, D.C. – Amidst ongoing efforts from the Home is Here campaign to sound the alarms over ICE’s unlawful and deeply concerning pattern of targeting DACA recipients for detention and deportation, NBC News published a story emphasizing the increased vulnerability of the DACA program’s future under this administration and the escalating threats DACA recipients and youth without DACA face to their safety and rights.
As NBC News reported, administration officials have explicitly confirmed that DACA recipients can and will be targeted for deportation under their control. The administration’s admittance that DACA recipients can be targeted is an extreme escalation in ICE’s mass abduction agenda and a blatant betrayal of a recent court mandate reaffirming the protections afforded under DACA to shield hundreds of thousands of immigrants who arrived as children from the threats of detention and deportation.
As reporter Nicole Acevedo writes: “A court ruling this year determined that all current DACA recipients can keep their deportation protections and work authorizations as long as they meet their requirements and renew their status.”
At a time when every major poll shows growing national disapproval for the administration’s mass abduction agenda and record-high support among Americans for immigration and a pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrant youth, this moment demands decisive action from Congress to deliver for the American people. The Home is Here campaign continues to demand the release of all individuals held in detention camps and urge Congress to pass the American Dream & Promise Act now.
