    Delmarva DACA Immigrants Applaud Supreme Court Decision, But Ask for Permanent Solution

    On Monday the U.S. Supreme Court decided not to intervene in the DACA controversy, for now. The justices refused to take up President Trump's appeal of a lower court order that allows the programs to continue accepting renewals. The decision means the case affecting “Dreamers” will have to go through the lower courts before any Supreme Court ruling is possible. The situation can also change if Congress takes action in the meantime.

    But its the uncertainty of what will come after this what concerns "Dreamers" on the Eastern Shore.

    "DACA means everything to me and my family," says Estela Ramirez. The mother-of-two works and DACA recipient now works as the assistant director of The Chesapeake Multicultural Resource Center in Easton, Maryland. "I've been for 17 years this is my home," she added.

    For Ramirez, the recent Supreme Court decision brings some relief but not enough peace of mind.

    "They need to do more. Stopping this is great but, it doesn't mean that the fight is over," she says. "Yes, we can work, we can be protected but what happens next? We're still in the limbo. We need a permanent solution," added Ramirez.

    Matthew Peters, director of the Chesapeake Multicultural Resource Center, explained that, for now, the federal program that offers protection to undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children won't end on March 5th, as it was expected.

    "The administration will continue to accept renewal requests from current DACA recipients," He says. "If your permit expires in the next five months or so, you can apply to extend it for two more years. However first-time DACA applications are still not being accepted" Explains Peters.

    Peters says being informed is key when it comes to making decisions related to your migratory status.

    "People should double check everything before reacting. Before you make any reactions before you end any money make sure you consult with people that are following the news and are trusted sources," He says.

    Estela will continue to hold-on to the hope of a future where her fate and the fate of the others hundreds of thousands DACA recipients is secure, but in the meantime, she said that support of the community is vital.

    "One of the things that we "Dreamers" want is for the community to support us and to call their representatives so that they can solve this problem," she added.

    I think most Americans have moved on and have no further interest in helping Dreamers.

    Your predicament isn't our problem, and you are not our responsibility.

    You need to gather up your parents and children and go home. Sooner the better, I say.

    Supreme Court rejects Trump administration’s DACA appeal

    BY KATHERINE YEN


    East Bay Sanctuary Covenant refugee rights advocate Lily Woo is applying for her third Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival, or DACA, renewal, which will protect her from deportation for another two years. She is able to do so, at least for now, because of the Supreme Court’s decision to reject the Trump administration’s appeal of a lower court ruling regarding DACA on Monday.

    The Trump administration ended the DACA program in September 2017, with Attorney General Jeff Sessions calling it a “unilateral executive amnesty.” In the months since, the decision has faced a number of legal challenges, including a lawsuit from the UC system.

    Two judges have since struck down the Trump administration’s actions, including U.S. District Judge William H. Alsup, who in January 2018 ruled in the UC lawsuit that the Trump administration’s actions were “capricious.” Alsup issued a nationwide injunction to maintain key components of DACA, including a provision that allows those enrolled in the program to renew their protected status.

    The Trump administration appealed the ruling to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco and took the unusual step of asking the Supreme Court to review the case. The Supreme Court declined to do so Monday, saying that it expected the appeals court to make a decision soon.

    “We are pleased the Supreme Court has denied the government’s petition,” UC said in a statement. “It was inappropriate for the Trump administration to short circuit standard appellate procedure and attempt to skip the U.S. Court of Appeals — a precipitous approach that echoes the government’s procedurally improper rescission of DACA at the heart of this case.”

    In ending DACA, the Trump administration allowed a six-month lag period before phasing out the program. If not for Alsup’s ruling, DACA would have expired March 5.

    Though the Supreme Court’s ruling temporarily protects current DACA recipients from deportation by allowing the lower court ruling to stand, it also reduces the amount of pressure on Congress to find a more permanent legislative solution.

    “Dreamers (are) just being used as a bargaining chip,” Woo said. “A lot of bipartisan acts are, ‘We’ll give people who currently have DACA a pathway to citizenship, but we’ll only do that if we get more money to build the wall.’ They’re basically asking immigrant communities to sell one another out.”

    The UC will finish case briefings by May 1, but the date for oral arguments has yet to be set by the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, according to UC spokesperson Stephanie Beechem.

    “Now that the administration’s extraordinary maneuver has been rightfully rejected, we look forward to defending U.S. District Judge Alsup’s injunction in the Court of Appeals,” UC said in a statement.
