White House preparing to take executive action to protect DACA

The administration is bracing for a likely court ruling that would end the program, which has shielded more than 600,000 immigrants from deportation.

The White House is preparing to take executive action to protect hundreds of thousands of immigrants known as “Dreamers,” people close to the White House told NBC News, as the Biden administration braces for a potential court defeat that could end the decade-old Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

Planning has intensified in recent days ahead of a decision on the program’s future from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, possibly within days. At stake is the ability of more than 600,000 people protected under the program, known as DACA, to continue living and working in the U.S. without fear of deportation. The conservative panel of judges is all but certain to rule that DACA is illegal. Although the Biden administration is likely to appeal the order, the Supreme Court has indicated it would agree with a 5th Circuit ruling that ends the Obama-era program.

Without action from Congress, the program’s work authorizations are all but certain to end. Immigration experts say thousands could abruptly lose their ability to earn a living in the U.S.

we are incredibly fked, they are not even gonna let our EADs expire.

THANK YOU NPCs!! good fcking job for getting the democrats elected. congratulations!! now we are bound to lose it all.

congress is not able to pass jack sht specially when it comes to immigration. even less with the bullsht legalization for all sht

Brace for impact.

Why do you say they wont even let the EADs expire?

The Bridge Act would be nice right about now huh. But I forgot, it greencard or nothing at all right smh

Lol, if that passed in 2017 you'd be back to standing in front of home depot 2 years ago.

^^^^^^^ THIS and we also wouldn't have that many deaths at the border like we do right now

Congress should just codify DACA and allow travel. Call it a day. Smh

I dont give a fuck about citizenship anymore

Why is anybody surprised about this? This was widely expected from the Biden administration. They don’t care about us, they just want to use the issue for votes and use us as pawns. At least Trump was open to doing a deal and constantly kept us in the conversation.

Biden and Kamala don’t even mention us. But wait until crap hits the fan, then they’ll have plenty of “nice things to say” about us.

False! They would have just kept renewing it.

they wont, congress is useless without urgency, which is what Trump was attempting to do by killing DACA under controlled circumstances. but hey Orange man bad.
