U.S (NATIVE ORGANIZERS ALLIANCE) : Undocumented Immigrant Youth Need Protection from Deportations !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friend, 

 

 

 

Family separation is a a common thread from colonial times through slavery through the attacks on poor families throughout U.S. history to today. Now hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children are facing a new threat of deportation.

Known as Dreamers, these young people, many of whom are Indigenious, are part of a program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival, or DACA.

A new court ruling has put the DACA program at risk, ruling against the program and sending it back to a Texas judge who’d already ruled to put a partial end to DACA by stopping first-time DACA applications from being processed. Now that judge will decide on the fate of the DACA program.

For years, these young people’s lives have been in limbo based on court rulings. This affects their families, including 300,000 U.S.-born children who have at least one parent with DACA.

But Congress can act to provide permanent protections for DACA recipients and their families. 

 

 

Sign now to tell Congress: Protect millions of people, including current DACA recipients and additional immigrant Indigenous youth, from facing deportation and the tearing apart of their families and communities.

 

 

 

 

SIGN ON

 

 

 

 

As Indigenous organizers, we’re all too familiar with how the U.S. government splits up families.

U.S. immigration policies that tear children away from their families mirror U.S. government policies toward Native families. In the late 1800s, Native Americans were taken from their parents and shipped to places like Carlisle, PA and Genoa, NE to Indian boarding schools. As recently as the 1970s, a third of Native children were ripped away from their families.^[1]

 

 

Native communities are still suffering from the trauma caused by the injustice. Now, we must come together and stop the same kinds of injustice taking place against undocumented immigrants and their families. Please add your name now.

 

 

Together, let’s keep fighting for all of our rights.

Hawwih (thank you in Caddo),
