16 Attorney generals file brief
 

RICHMOND, Va. (WSET) -- Attorney General Herring joined 16 other attorney generals Monday, Sept. 30 in filing a brief with the United States Supreme Court in the coalition’s ongoing lawsuit to protect Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

According to a press release, "the lawsuit, that was originally filed in September 2017 and will be heard by the Supreme Court this fall, argues that the Trump Administration’s attempt to revoke DACA was based on a faulty legal analysis and harmed State residents, institutions, and economies."

“Virginia is home to more than 12,000 DREAMers who have become valued members of our institutions of higher education, our communities, and our economies,” said Herring. “No good can come out of ending DACA. It will tear families apart, hurt Virginia’s economy, and most importantly turn our back on these promising, talented young people who have made this country their home and only want to make it a better place. I want to be very clear that I will continue to defend DREAMers in court and do all I can to make sure that they do not have to continue to live in fear of deportation.”

In September 2017, Herring and his colleagues filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York challenging the Trump Administration’s decision to terminate DACA and in February 2018, they were successful in securing a nationwide preliminary injunction that halted DACA’s termination.

More than 12,000 young people in Virginia have been approved for DACA according to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.

DACA holders are now in school or working in Virginia and it is estimated that removing them from the workforce would cost Virginia more than $711 million in annual GDP losses, the release states.

Since 2012, the program has allowed approximately 800,000 young people to come to the U.S. as children and lack legal status to live, study, and work in the country without fear of arrest or deportation.

Terminate DACA in states that oppose it

Leave DACA in states that are for it

Problem solved
