On June 18th, the Supreme Court blocked the administration’s attempt to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Had the effort been allowed to move forward, over 650,000 DACA holders would have been at risk of losing their work authorizations and legal status, a particularly worrisome proposition given the administration’s stated intent to deport these individuals if the program were struck down. While the Supreme Court’s decision provided a hard-earned reprieve, the technical grounds on which the administration was thwarted leaves the door open to future attempts to roll back the program—something the President hinted at following the ruling.
In the coming weeks, immigrant-serving organizations anticipate providing increased support in myriad ways, especially due to the precarious nature of the court decision. This work will come at a time that organizations are already stretched thin in responding to COVID-19, and against the backdrop of a increasingly acrimonious election landscape with immigration issues likely featuring prominently.
Join us for a discussion with leaders in the field who will unpack the Supreme Court’s DACA decision.
