We ask that you SIGN this petition as a pledge to defend DACA & TPS and fight stop to deportations that continue to separate families. Since 2012, more than 790,000 undocumented [youth] immigrants have benefited from DACA and this has allowed them to overcome hurdles and access opportunities that were not available to them prior. Needless to say their lives have drastically changed and for many they've been able to better provide for their family, friends, and community. DACA is currently under attack. Attorney generals from 10 states issued Trump warning that they would sue him if he does not end DACA by September 5th. The Trump administration is expected to decide the fate of DACA by September 5th, but an announcement may come even sooner. While DACA is currently under attack, it will continue to be in effect until further notice. This means that your current DACA is still valid until further notice. We will be updating this petition page and providing you with updates. Meanwhile you should know: 1) Again, DACA is still in effect, if it is not expired. 2) Anyone that has DACA is outside of the United States with ADVANCE PAROLE (travel permit) should RETURN RIGHT NOW. 3) Carry a COPY of your WORK PERMIT everywhere you go. 4) For case-by-case questions, speak to a lawyer or BIA accredited representative. Don't fall victim to fraud or scams from notarios and other fraudulent businesses. 5) Your employer can't fire you, put you on leave, nor ask about your DACA status. 6) The social security number that you received with DACA is valid for life. 7) Check your state's laws about ID's and drivers licenses. *What is DACA? - Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a kind of administrative relief from deportation. The purpose of DACA is to protect eligible immigrant youth who came to the United States when they were children from deportation. DACA gives young undocumented immigrants: 1) protection from deportation, and 2) a work permit. The program expires after two years, subject to renewal. *What is TPS? - TPS stands for Temporary Protected Status. The Secretary of Homeland Security may designate a foreign country for TPS due to conditions in the country that temporarily prevent the country's nationals from returning safely, or in certain circumstances, where the country is unable to handle the return of its nationals adequately. USCIS may grant TPS to eligible nationals of certain countries (or parts of countries), who are already in the United States. Eligible individuals without nationality who last resided in the designated country may also be granted TPS.
