Today the Supreme Court issued a positive decision on the DACA case, finding that the Trump administration's decision to terminate the program was “arbitrary and capricious” under the Administrative Procedures Act and failed to consider the hardship to DACA recipients. But what does this mean for DACA recipients and our communities? Join us Tuesday, June 23rd at 10am to learn more about the decision, what the impact is to DACA recipients, and what next steps recipients can take in light of the decision. It is important, now more than ever, that accurate information and resources are shared with our immigrant communities.
