Congress must pass legislation before the end of *this* year.

Title 42 was an inhumane and horrid policy in 2020. It is today. It has been since then an effort to eliminate the ability to people to apply for refuge in the US—it was not and has never been about public health.
End Title 42 now.

Ok!
Here is a thread our analysis/statement on the new DACA rule (link here).
To start, we want to communicate to DACA recipients & their families what this does and does not mean, with a note of caution given the misleading information circulating 1/…

Reading now but TOPLINES:
1) As expected, Judge Hanen (very wrongly) again ruled DACA is illegal
2) Renewals for existing DACA recipients can continue (he could not touch the stay)—so status quo holds
3) Now goes back up to 5th Circuit to rule on merits & stay & eventually SCOTUS
BREAKING — Judge Andrew Hanen again declares the DACA program for "Dreamers" illegal, striking down a Biden effort to codify the policy into a federal regulation.
Hanen is keeping DACA intact for current recipients, allowing the government to process renewal requests.

@FWDus
statement on today’ s historic announcements to keep American families together:
Today’s steps can provide transformative relief for a half million spouses of US citizens, who have lived in the US for 23 years on average, as well as so many Dreamers —> 1/3

Update just now on schedule of 5th circuit DACA case (not anything unexpected) - 5th circuit responds to DOJ request & says they can submit supplemental briefs, but must do so by next Thursday. Very fast turnaround.
Decision could come as soon as Sept. 1/2

It is very good that President Biden’s campaign is putting earned and paid behind their efforts to remind voters of the horrors of President Trump’s zero tolerance family separation policies - policies he and his campaign remain too scared to admit they will resume.

As many have importantly noted…today is the 10th anniversary of when USCIS first accepted DACA applications. This has been a transformative success for nearly 1 million Dreamers, and benefits tens of millions of Americans in their families, communities and workplaces…1/2

Impt:
1) hundreds of thousands locked out of DACA thanks to Pres Trump & courts
2) No one is getting DACA anymore
3) There isnt a way to currently get out of 5th circuit stranglehold to change that
5) So lots of HS & college grads graduating w/o protection & work authorization
Ever since Trump and Judge Hanen halted DACA, hundreds of thousands of undocumented Dreamers who have been graduating high school and going to college have been locked out of the program. We are hurting ourselves as a nation by not providing them a way to fix their status.

“Multiple things can be true at the same time: the Biden Administration’s creation of new legal pathways that will protect vulnerable individuals is a critical and positive step; expanding Title 42 is entirely wrong; and we strongly oppose the proposed policy…

this is a really bad line. We’re at 3000 daily deaths. We can be exhausted, can point out its not 2 years ago & we can make hard decisions (like the incredible value of schools) but that requires investment designed to protect one another. This comes off as dismissing math death

To this very impt point…the current administration has had Title 42 in place longer than last one—and it is the official, communicated stance (on the record) that this is CDC’s call. Just bc people don’t believe that to be true doesnt mean it should not be a daily question.
Seconding folks who would like to see a question about Title 42 at this briefing.
It’s been in place for nearly 2 years. DHS says it’s 100% CDC’s call. CDC has literally never mentioned or defended it to press.
