"Super interesting: The GOP-led House Approps Committee has passed amendments barring DHS from "deporting, detaining or initiating removal proceedings" for DACA beneficiaries."

Can anybody collect more details on this?

Wow. Wtf?

Fake news bruh

She's cute. Love asian cougars.

So according to The Hill news:
“The House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday approved an amendment protecting from deportation recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that are active-duty military or veterans.”
“The amendment, approved by a voice vote with no opposition, would block funds from being used to deport DACA recipients who went on to serve in the military.”

But, according by Buzz Feed news;
“Democratic Rep. Pete Aguilar did win a victory for DACA defenders this week, but it is questionable how significant it will be. He proposed an amendment for this year’s Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill that would ban the department from using any funds to detain or deport DACA recipients in good standing. Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee agreed to the amendment and it was approved on a bipartisan voice vote.”
“In theory, the amendment would offer at least a year of stability for DREAMers if passed into law. But there was skepticism about how impactful it would be. In approving the amendment, Rep. Kevin Yoder told his fellow Republicans during committee markup that it “has no practical impact since this is the status quo.”


So still more questions than answers??? I would contact my US rep to ask for clarification.

Is this good or bad news, what is the consensus?

There's only good news coming our way

Haha.. you can view this as the thinnest possible coverage of the smallest possible portion of DACA-ers for the shortest period possible.

I guess now everyone can go home and say they did something for DACA

Yes! DACA beneficiaries are given deferred action. Wait.... wut!?

ummmmm we weren't a target to begin with...at least give us ap or bridge act...nice fucking show.
