@joseiswriting asks @whitehouse
question: so you'd have to be in deportation proceeding to get temporary status?

response byCecilla Munoz @whitehouse:

@joseiswriting: (1 of 2) We're clearing out the caseload to make room for high priority cases & keeping low priorities out of the caseload.
@joseiswriting (2of2) impt to understand there's no affirmative process for people to apply for. For that we need imm reform in Congress. "

The second part of @whitehouse answer could mean that unless you are in deportation proceedings, you can not potentially apply for work permit. I hope this is not so.

The declaration by Rep Luis Gutierrez gives us some hope. Maybe we should ask Rep Luis Gutierrez to insist on this during his meeting with DHS.
