Excited to have the chance to write more about Biden's June 18 EO and talk about how it will benefit families across the US, including in Utah, with @DNewsOpinion

By protecting the rights of U.S. citizens to marry the person they love and helping keep families in our communities together, this new executive action is a low-risk, small tweak that will have a major, positive impact. — @janelillylopez https://t.co/kaa3P27pcH

[Caitlin Patler, PhD @CaitlinPatler]

One of the single most impactful experiences of my life was working with @NoMoreDeaths on the US-Mexico border and seeing the horrors of the Prevention Through Deterrence policy. Nearly every death could have been prevented with better, more humane, and sensible policy.

Biden's recent executive order safeguards undocumented #immigrants married to U.S. citizens from deportation. In this OpEd, @janelillylopez (@BYUsociology) & @kmfullertonrico (@fordschool) detail how this move will unite families & boost the economy. https://t.co/WKMA3RwK5W

This thread by @janelillylopez is as important as the article 🧵

[Sarah Bruhn @SarahBruhn3]

Thank you for writing this @janelillylopez and @kmfullertonrico! An important explanation of this policy change!

[UCLA Center for Immigration Law and Policy @UCLA_CILP]

NEW: Biden’s announcement today is a welcome development that will provide crucial relief. At the same time, we reject the notion that relief for some families in the US is only possible if the admin also creates restrictive policies that harm families at the border.

As we explain in the article, this change will benefit all Americans. Further expanding the families that qualify to reach all mixed-citizenship couples would only increase the benefits to us all.

[Jane Lilly Lopez @janelillylopez]

Here's a brief explanation of how Biden's announcement today will benefit hundreds of thousands of mixed-citizenship families, written with @kmfullertonrico at @ConversationUS

[Jane Lilly Lopez @janelillylopez]

I hope congress will follow-up on today's announcement with a policy change that will make family togetherness in the US a policy for all mixed-citizenship couples.

[Ernesto Castañeda @DrErnestoCast]

Given the good news from the White House regarding undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens, I recommend the work of @janelillylopez on this very topic. @stanfordpress

[Kristina Fullerton Rico @kmfullertonrico]

Confused about Biden’s new executive action for undocumented spouses?

@JaneLillyLopez and I wrote an article for @ConversationUS that breaks it all down.
