NILC Statement on District Court Ruling Against DACA

WASHINGTON — Kica Matos, president of the National Immigration Law Center, issued the following statement in response to a ruling from U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas finding Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) unlawful:

“While expected, today’s court ruling is devastating. It impacts hundreds of thousands of immigrant youth and their loved ones, who have already endured years of uncertainty stemming from politicized attacks on DACA. Congress has failed to pass a permanent legislative solution, and it is urgent that they act now. We cannot allow court rulings to continue to upend the lives of hundreds of thousands of immigrant youth whose home is here. We demand that Congress pass a pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients and immigrant youth.”
