DACA recipients losing jobs as backlog leads to expired permits.

Posted on July 28, 2021 by sethlerner1964

A Report emerged that around 13,000 renewal cases for DACA recipients have been pending for more than four months, according to sources from USCIS. The backlog, worsened by the pandemic, has further been clogged by thousands of first-time applications for DACA permits which are simultaneously in the process of being reviewed. Recipients of the program are being especially proactive in renewing their permits, which is required every two years, because of a pending case in a Texas court, which is examining the legality of the DACA. While USCIS acknowledged the delays, the agency said that first-time DACA applications and renewal requests remain within normal processing times.

Undocumented college students can now access pandemic relief aid.

Posted on June 30, 2021 by sethlerner1964

The Biden administration announced that undocumented college students will be allowed to access federal COVID-19 relief aid. The step reverses former President Trump’s policy barring them from assistance. The Department of Education will now allow undocumented students, as well as those protected from deportation by DACA, to request aid, as long as they have been enrolled at a U.S. college or university since March 13, 2020. Refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants who are not part of DACA may also apply for COVID-19 aid.

House passes bills providing citizenship for Dreamers and farmworkers.

Posted on April 22, 2021 by sethlerner1964

House Democrats passed a pair of bills that would create a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and some migrant farm workers, taking a piecemeal approach as President Biden’s major immigration package looks increasingly uncertain. The Dream and Promise Act would provide certainty to undocumented people brought to the U.S. as children whose ability to go to school, get work and even remain in the country has hung in the balance from administration to administration. The bill would also allow those with TPS to apply for citizenship. In total, the Dream and Promise Act would help naturalize nearly 4.5 million people.

No ruling in case deciding fate of DACA.

Posted on April 5, 2021 by sethlerner1964

A federal judge did not immediately rule Tuesday on a closely watched case over the fate of DACA, which grants limited protections on hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought into the U.S. as children. U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen set an early April deadline for lawyers on both sides to provide more information. The case is led by Texas, which are asking the judge to invalidate DACA. The State of New Jersey and two immigration advocacy groups are leading the defense for DACA, against Texas. Hanen previously ruled against Texas in 2018 and declined to issue a preliminary injunction, but stated he believed DACA was unconstitutional.

What is the U.S. coming to:

Posted on October 30, 2017 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

The New York Times reports that a 10-year-old girl with cerebral palsy has been detained by federal immigration authorities in Texas after she passed through a Border Patrol checkpoint on her way to a hospital to undergo emergency gall bladder surgery. The girl, Rosamaria Hernandez, who was brought to the United States without documentation to live in Laredo, Texas, when she was three months old, was being transferred from a medical center in Laredo to a hospital in Corpus Christi around 2:00 am on Tuesday when Border Patrol agents stopped the ambulance she was riding in. The agents allowed her to continue to hospital but followed the ambulance the rest of the way there, then waited outside her room until she was released from the hospital.

5th Circuit Affirms Injunction

Posted on November 30, 2015 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

In a 2-1 decision, the Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court’s February 16, 2015, ordergranting a preliminary injunction against DAPA and expanded DACA. AILA President Victor Nieblas expressed disappointment in the decision, stating, “Once again, a Fifth Circuit panel sided with Texas and other states in a politically motivated lawsuit to challenge President Obama’s authority to exercise his constitutionally granted executive power to provide a reprieve from deportation for certain parents of American children and to expand the existing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.”
