Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García Statement on Today’s DACA Decision

October 5, 2022

CHICAGO, IL – Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García (IL-04) issued the following statement on the 5th Circuit Court’s decision on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program:

Today’s decision by the 5th Circuit Court brings relief to current DACA recipients, but keeps the door closed on the many young people who are eligible but can no longer apply. Young immigrants deserve to live without the constant worry of deportation and family separation. The Senate must pass The American Dream and Promise Act and the President must sign it immediately. DACA recipients are our friends, our neighbors, and our family. Chicago is a city of immigrants. America is a nation of immigrants. We must legislate accordingly.”
