400 Groups Nationwide Urge Congress to Protect Dreamers and TPS and DED Holders -- See Letter

Congress introduced and passed H.R. 6—The Dream and Promise Act—which could provide permanent protection from deportations for immigrant youth and TPS and DED holders. Join the millions around the country as we now urge the Senate to do the same and pass the Dream and Promise Act NOW.

About the Dream and Promise Act

Millions of immigrants are at risk of deportation because Trump terminated DACA, and ended the Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) programs, making every undocumented person a priority for deportation.

It is imperative that the Senate pass the Dream and Promise Act of 2019 to secure permanent protections for immigrant youth, TPS holders, and DED recipients now. The Dream and Promise Act builds off of the Dream Act of 2017 that our movement supported. It would include permanent protections for the largest cohort of undocumented immigrant youth, but also for the more than 400,000 people with TPS and DED who live and work in the United States, and made this country their home.

With this new bill, we are committed to charting a new path forward–away from the attacks on immigrants and our families and to stop Donald Trump from exploiting our communities as bargaining chips for his divisive, ineffective border wall and increases to his deportation force.

The Dream and Promise Act is bold, progressive, and the most inclusive immigration reform bill–and could be the first bill that helps immigrants without hurting our communities under the Trump administration. Are you with us?

What is Deferred Enforced Departure?

Similar to DACA, Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) is a form of protection from deportation. Currently, the only country designated to receive DED is Liberia. This status was created in 2007 when Temporary Protected Status for Liberians ended. Nearly 3,600 people currently have DED and are in danger of being removed because the Trump Administration ended the program. The program is set to end on March 31, 2019.

What is Temporary Protected Status?

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is another form of relief that protects more than 300,000 people from deportation. People that are protected through this program have usually fled their country because of war, extreme violence, natural disasters, or other extraordinary circumstances. As of now, the countries that qualify for TPS are El Salvador, Honduras, Haiti, Nepal, Syria, Nicaragua, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, and South Sudan. Recently, the Trump Administration ended TPS protections for people from Honduras, Nepal, El Salvador, Haiti, Sudan, and Nicaragua making them vulnerable to Trump’s Deportation Force–however some of these terminations are on hold pending lawsuit and court orders.

What is Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals?

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a program created in 2012 that protects over 800,000 immigrant youth from deportation. DACA came after immigrant youth fought for years to be protected. The program protects those who arrived in the U.S. before their 16th birthday, have not left the country without Advance Parole, have a high school diploma or GED, pay a $496 filing fee, and otherwise meet the rest of the requirements. The Trump Administration terminated DACA in 2017, however, the program remains in place for renewals only after numerous courts ruled that Trump’s decision to end the program is unconstitutional.
