JOIN THE US CATHOLIC BISHOPS IN SUPPORTING DACA RECIPIENTS

In 2012, the Obama Administration created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). DACA protects undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children (“Dreamers”) from deportation for a 2-year (renewable) period and allows them work permits.  In 2017, the Trump Administration rescinded DACA and legality of this rescission was challenged in courts across the U.S.  It is now up to the Supreme Court and a decision is expected soon.  If the decision to terminate the program is upheld, more than 700,000 DACA recipients–and their families -will be impacted.  This situation is tremendously stressful for everyone it affects.  DACA recipients are members of our parishes, members of our priest pool, members of our neighborhoods, and more.  Learn more at https://justiceforimmigrants.org/.  Please keep DACA recipients and their families in your prayers and pray for the Supreme Court to exercise wisdom.
