After being taken to the jail, ICE took him into custody and officers were in the process of transporting him to the South Texas Detention Facility in Pearsall. However, Romero’s attorneys with R. A.

During that time, they may be eligible to work and attend school. Romero attends the Southwest School of Art, but his DACA status is up for renewal next month. According to the Department of Homeland Security, DACA can be taken away from a student who poses a national security or public safety threat; however, those offenses are defined as being more serious.

Daca Promotes The ‘american Dream’ Ideal
Daca Promotes The ‘american Dream’ Ideal

... 200 years ago the French diplomat Alexis de Tocqueville wrote that “ No Americans are devoid of a yearning desire to rise.” The American Dream, the idea that anyone can succeed if they work hard enough, is an extremely powerful thing. Some have said it doesn’t exist today, or that it never did. They are wrong. University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s ASUN just affirmed the American Dream for thousands of Nebraskans, passing a resolution to support Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. This decision is to be heartily applauded. This program lets people who came to the United States as undocumented immigrants stay for two years to find a work permit and not be deported during that time. It gives people a second chance, grows the economy and makes our country strong. And contrary to what the ...

... Arrivals policy, a policy implemented under President Barack Obama’s administration, the federal government agreed to defer the deportation of undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children and allowed these students to qualify for employment authorization. “Many of these students who live in New Jersey applied for the DACA program so that they could work and be able to afford the pursuit of a college education,” said Wisniewski (D-Middlesex). “These students know only America as their home and are hard-working employees who contribute to the economy and to the rich diversity of our schools. Rescinding DACA would expose these students to the threat of immediate deportation and deprive the state of their many contributions. That’s immoral and un-American, and we must make clear that we oppose any effort by President Trump to punish these young men and women.”. Wisniewski said  young men and women who followed the proper course of action so that they could pursue their higher education should not be punished. “These students have spent ...

Many qualifying students are hesitant to apply from fear of their information being available to the government. Last month, a draft of an executive order was leaked on Vox website. That draft called for the elimination of DACA. “We are assuming that the DACA list might become a deportation list,” immigrant activist, Carolina Silva, said. “If this were to happen, our community is completely unprepared. We are taking a lot of precautions, but we also face a lot of uncertainty.”. A Global Strategy Group poll found 58 percent of voters support keeping DACA in place, and 28 percent want it repealed. “I just don’t know what to believe anymore, and especially after the Muslim immigration ban,” Palominos said. “I’m just living day by day, and mentally preparing myself for the worst.”. “It’s important that DACA holders and undocumented immigrants do not let fear and paranoia get to them while pursuing their dreams,” Mariany ...

Bridge To Legal Status For Daca Students
Bridge To Legal Status For Daca Students

... “Today’s introduction of the Bridge Act is only a first step in the long process of permanently reforming and strengthening our immigration laws. I believe   children brought here at no fault of their own merit the opportunity to live, work and study in the United States. For the balance of immigration reform, I am optimistic that we can fix our broken immigration system by enacting tougher laws, securing our borders and implementing stricter enforcement, all while still keeping families together.”. The Bridge Act may be the best option to maintain work permits and driver’s licenses if DACA is brought to a halt. Many Republicans, including Graham and other supporters of the Bridge Act,  say that DACA far exceeded Obama’s range of power to begin with. “In my view, the DACA executive order issued by President Obama was ...

... fellow DACA recipients to stay in the United States, the only country we have ever really known as home. They can do so by co-sponsoring and supporting the BRIDGE (Bar Removal of Individuals who Dream and Grow our Economy) Act. The BRIDGE Act is bipartisan legislation that has been introduced in both the House and Senate, which would honor the commitments made to DACA recipients while removing many Republicans’ concerns about President Obama’s executive overreach. It is a solution that everyone can get on board with. America is a land of promise, but it must also be a land that keeps its promises. The DACA program is a promise that, as a law-abiding and contributing member of our society who grew up in the U. S. and is American in all but immigration status, I will get to stay and contribute until our broken immigration system is fixed. I ask the president and his supporters, both in ...

... was also criticized by Democratic Washington Sen. Maria Cantwell , who said she was “looking into this troubling situation.”. “It is unacceptable that these Dreamers, who were brought to the U. S. as children and have grown up and gone to school here, are being detained,” Cantwell said in a statement. ICE officials said Ramirez was taken into custody Friday in a criminal case. “Mr. Ramirez — a self-admitted gang member — was encountered at a residence in Des Moines, Washington, during an operation targeting a prior-deported felon,” ICE spokeswoman Rose Richeson said in a statement. She added that ICE officers “took Mr. Ramirez into custody based on his admitted gang affiliation and risk to public safety.”. Gang membership can be grounds for the government to deny or review an immigrant's DACA status. Ramirez had recently moved to Washington from California, where he had attended school, and he has a 3-year-old son, a U. S. citizen, according to the lawsuit. Ramirez first obtained DACA protection in 2014 and renewed his protection in 2016, the complaint says. Ramirez was sleeping at his father’s home near Seattle when agents arrived and arrested his ...
