THIS IS FOR YOU 4justice



Criminal convictions: USCIS took marijuana possession and shoplifting out of the "significant misdemeanor" category (although convictions for those crimes could still disqualify a person from DACA if the crime is punishable by more than one year in prison). This will allow tens of thousands of undocumented youth to avoid deportation for minor crimes that citizens only get a slap on the wrist for. Unexpectedly, expunged adult convictions will not automatically disqualify an applicant from DACA, even if they would have been disqualifying crimes before expungement. In general, the range of crimes that disqualify a person from DACA is narrower than in the rest of the immigration system. Hopefully this represents a turning point in how the government treats non-citizens with minor criminal convictions, which would be a step towards securing basic human rights for all non-citizens who have been convicted of crimes.
