The Empire Justice Center welcomes the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision today in Department of Homeland Security v. Regents of Univ. of California, which prevents the termination of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The DACA program allows young people brought to the United States as children to apply for a temporary status that shields them from deportation, and allows them to go to school and work.

For the 700,000 DACA recipients known as Dreamers and their families, many of whom know no other homeland besides the United States, this decision provides an important measure of certainty during a time of extreme hardship. As a legal service provider, we stand shoulder to shoulder with Dreamers and all people in immigrant communities who are integral to our nation’s identity, culture, economy and success. Congress must act now to provide DACA recipients with a path to citizenship.
