When President Obama passed the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) executive action, he protected law abiding undocumented immigrant youth from deportation. By identifying themselves for valuable protection, these youths put their lives-- and those of their families-- at risk so they could better contribute to American society.
The incoming Trump administration has promised to eliminate President Obama's executive actions and to deport undocumented immigrants living in the United States. With this looming threat to DACA youth, the Obama administration has the responsibility to follow through on its executive action by pardoning the thousands of law abiding U.S. residents it promised to protect.
Join us in asking President Obama to pardon DACA youth!
