Celebrating 12 Years of DACA

This week marks the 12th anniversary of DACA! Since its inception, DACA has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of immigrant youth, granting them the opportunity to live, work, and thrive in the United States. These “Dreamers” have become integral members of our communities, contributing as students, professionals, and entrepreneurs.

However, DACA faces significant challenges. Currently under scrutiny by the 5th Circuit Court, the program’s future is uncertain amid a rise in state-led deportation efforts. This highlights the urgent need to not only preserve but also strengthen DACA.
