Today’s 5th Circuit decision continues to deny DACA recipients the security and stability they deserve. While DACA remains in place for now, this is not a victory until we secure permanent protections for Dreamers.
My full statement ⬇️
The Fifth Circuit court hearing on #DACA has just started. Brian Boyton, of @TheJusticeDept is arguing now for the U.S. you can tune in here: https://t.co/WRXakmeMMy #HomeIsHere

Haitians are seeking asylum in Del Rio, Texas right now. The U.S. government is hurting individuals and families at the border and has resumed deportation flights to a country challenged with civil unrest and rebuilding from a devastating earthquake. #WelcomeWithDignity
I introduced the Dream Act 20 years ago. Nothing is ever going to stop me from stepping up and fighting for Dreamers. Not until there is a pathway to citizenship.
SO EXCITED. Chef Francis and the entire team behind Pinoy Heritage have been making truly beautiful meals for years. I still think about many of the dishes I've gotten to have during their pop-ups. Cannot wait for opening!

Appreciate this brief history by @JeffFarrah@nvca, & efforts by @PaulWHughes, @jennybarin@a_moriarty@FWDus, @NewAmericanEcon, & many more to get this week's win.

Meet Javier, one of @FLOTUS’s #JointAddress guests. ~1 million Dreamers like Javier are placing themselves and their families at great while keeping the country safe and running. The stakes couldn’t be higher. The Senate must pass a path to citizenship #ForOurFamilies. #WeAreHome
Five million essential workers who’ve kept this country running during the pandemic live in fear of being deported. This is a powerful reminder that a fair pathway to citizenship for essential workers should be included in the infrastructure package. #WeAreHome
Nurses are heroes. As the daughter of an immigrant nurse, this video really hit home ❤️
Thank you, Javier, for reminding Congress to do right by the millions of Dreamers, TPS holders, and farm workers who are waiting for a path to citizenship.
#HR6#ForOurFamilies#WeAreHome
Join Javier, an essential worker & #DACA recipient fighting #COVID19, in urging the House to pass the #DreamAndPromise Act #ForOurFamilies.
“We need a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, #TPS holders, and essential workers now." https://t.co/7G9gpEx84s #WeAreHome#HR6
Dreamers & #TPS holders never stopped fighting for their futures — that's why this week the House will vote on the #DreamAndPromise Act. We have a historic opportunity to provide millions with a pathway to citizenship. The House must pass #HR6: https://t.co/lU2lbI8tsW #WeAreHome
The court in our Batalla case has just ruled that the Wolf memo must be set aside. Here's what this means:
--The DACA program must return to how it was before the effort by the Trump administration's effort to end the program on Sept. 5, 2017. #HomeIsHere
To all the #DACA recipients & those who have been waiting to apply for years. The Batalla team will update again once we confer w/the court on next steps & when we have info on when the program will be reset to its 2012 terms. #FF@MaketheRoadNY@NILC@WiracYls for updates.
#Breaking: DACA recipients win AGAIN. Court rules in our Batalla case that Chad Wolf was not lawfully appointed and his memo gutting #DACA is invalid. More details soon. But say it loud: #HomeIsHere
Years of relentless work went into the recent Supreme Court #LGBTQ & #DACA wins.
Having the #BlackLivesMatter uprisings as a catalyst to these recent victories makes them that much more profound.
We can’t stop fighting for justice and dignity for all our people ✊🏾✊🏿
Dreamers have contributed so much to our country, and they are risking their lives fighting on the frontlines of this pandemic. They deserve permanent immigration status and a pathway to citizenship—as they are Americans in every way but on paper. https://t.co/e4IYqX3WIy
