Dear friends,
This Monday, the Ninth Circuit District court issued a decision that upholds the Administration’s decision to terminate Temporary Protected Status for over 300,000 neighbors from El Salvador, Sudan, Nicaragua, and Haiti. The decision also was a step toward allowing potential terminations of TPS for neighbors from Honduras and Nepal to move forward. By lifting the temporary injunction on terminations, more than 300,000 TPS holders will be in danger of losing their protected status and be vulnerable to deportation, starting *NOT IMMEDIATELY* but potentially early next year.
Following our win in the Supreme Court for the fate of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, DACA recipients also continue to face challenges due to the Jan. 28 USCIS memo that cuts down the duration of DACA permits to a year and denies undocumented youth opportunities to apply for DACA.
Join us for a webinar on Monday 9/21 1pm EST/ 10am PT as we review challenges ahead, highlight unique roles faith partners can play in this critical moment, and share calls to actions you can join to stand in solidarity with TPS and DACA neighbors in our communities and congregations.
Monday September 21st, 2020, 1pm ET/ 10am PT
The call-in details will be sent to those who RSVP.
We the faith community must continue to answer the call to take action in solidarity with TPS holders, their children, DACA recipients and undocumented youth in response to this terrible decision by the courts and the recent DACA-USCIS memo.
to the recent court’s TPS decision.
