DHS has now confirmed they have detained at least 270 DACA recipients, deported 86 DACA recipients and deported 174 DACA applicants. These are our classmates, our neighbors, our friends.
These are not isolated incidents, this is targeting of young people. They are clear and glaring warnings that the government is escalating its mass disappearance agenda in aggressive, unlawful ways to target DACA recipients and immigrant youth. We cannot stay silent.

DHS has admitted to Congress that immigration agents detained 261 DACA recipients and deported 86, and every day these numbers grow. These are our classmates, our neighbors, our friends.
These are not isolated incidents, there is a pattern of targeting of young people.
Ways this administration is targeting immigrant youth:
They are clear and glaring warnings that the government is escalating its mass abduction agenda in aggressive, unlawful ways to target DACA recipients and immigrant youth. We cannot stay silent.
With Congress failing to take action to protect our communities, DACA recipients and tens of thousands of immigrant youth without DACA continue to face escalating threats to their safety, rights, and lives. Without permanent protections in place, more and more of the people who power our country — workers, students, parents — will continue to be torn from our communities.
SEND A LETTER to your members of Congress today! Demand permanent protections for the millions of immigrants who power our country and an end to the detention and deportation of DACA recipients and immigrant youth.
This tracker contains ONLY stories that have been published in the media. We know there are many more who have chosen not to go public or who DHS will not account for.
The individuals whose stories we’ve tracked are all immigrant youth who would most likely be eligible for the Dream Act, arrived in the country as children, and have grown up attending school, going to work, and building their families and communities here in the United States.
Overwhelmingly, those on this tracker are current DACA recipients, former DACA recipients, and those who might have been eligible for DACA but have not been able to receive protections due to court cases closing the program to initial applicants. Some individuals are ineligible for DACA due to their own circumstances or because the program is outdated. Currently, there are hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrant youth who are current high schoolers and college students but are considered ineligible for DACA due to arbitrary cut-offs.
