Georgia's immigrant families need your help.  

DACA is running out of time! Due to the recent decision by a San Francisco judge to temporarily block Trump's decision to end the program, recipients can now renew their DACA. This is urgent! Beneficiaries must take advantage of this time window as this decision may be reversed at any moment.

The $495 is a huge burden for some who desperately need their DACA, beneficiaries receive a 2-year work permit allowing them to legally work and provide for themselves and their families.

The stakes are high -  many of our immigrant families can be at risk: undocumented families, families with DACA recipients, and even families with legal permanent resident or other visa status, may run into situations where they are at risk for deportation.

WHY IT MATTERS NOW:

• Immigrants detained in Georgia are more likely to be deported than immigrants detained elsewhere. At both Stewart and Irwin the two largest immigrant detention centers the majority were deported at a higher rate than the average national rate of 60%.
• ICE arrests in Georgia were up by 75% since January. A significant number of those arrested do not have criminal convictions.  
• ICE relies on local law enforcement to notify them of someone’s presence in their jail or detention center. Once ICE has custody over a person they can languish in Irwin or Stewart for months or years in a no man’s land.

It is essential to provide funding for legal fees and attorney representation so that all rights are preserved regardless of immigration status.
