Supreme Court to Hear DACA Oral Arguments
On November 12, 2019, the Supreme Court of the United States will hear oral arguments in several cases joined together challenging the Trump administration’s rescission of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The Supreme Court’s June 28, 2019 decision to review these cases threw Dreamers’ lives into even more instability, as their protections from deportation and ability to work hang in the balance pending the Supreme Court’s decision. The Supreme Court may issue a decision as soon as early 2020. Following the Trump administration’s rescission of DACA and the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for many designated countries, class action suits were filed both by Dreamers and by TPS holders. Both of the Trump administration’s rescissions were at least partially blocked by federal courts. There has been increasing pressure from both Democrats and Republicans to pass a permanent legislation to protect Dreamers and TPS recipients. On June 4, 2019, the House of Representatives passed the “American Dream and Promise Act” (H.R. 6). The Bill now awaits a vote by the Senate. Americans have long shown overwhelming support for protecting Dreamers - polls have shown that 86 percent of Americans want Dreamers to be able to stay in the country. TPS recipients are integral members of the American economy. Numerous TPS holders own businesses in the construction, restaurants and other food services, and landscaping industries, to name a few.
