DACA:
What
You
Need
To
Know
Friend:
In
light
of
the
recent
DACA
decision,
here
is
some
important
information
regarding
what
the
changes
mean
for
DACA
recipients:
- USCIS
is
not
accepting
any
new
applications
for
DACA.
- If
you
have
DACA
status,
it
is
still
valid
until
it
expires.
- Applications
for
DACA
recipients
to
travel
abroad
and
re-enter
the
US,
also
known
as
advance
parole,
are
no
longer
accepted.
If
you
travel
outside
of
the
United
States,
you
will
lose
your
DACA
status.
- If
your
DACA
status
expires
before
March
5,
2018,
USCIS
must
receive
your
application
by
October
5,
2017.
That
gives
these
DACA
recipients
only
10
days
to
apply.
This
is
complicated
and
Senator
Harris
wants
Dreamers
to
be
as
informed
as
possible.
Ultimately,
there
is
one
simple
solution
the
Senator
has
continuously
affirmed,
and
that
is
to
pass
the
DREAM
Act. Check
out
the
Senator’s
op-ed
in
Univision
to
learn
more
about
why
we
must
pass
the
DREAM
Act.
This
past
Monday,
Senator
Harris's
Los
Angeles
office
partnered
with O’Melveny
&
Myers,
Coalition
for
Humane
Immigrant
Rights
of
Los
Angeles
(CHIRLA),
National
Immigration
Law
Center
(NILC),
and
other
volunteer
attorneys
and
helped
process
44+
DACA
renewal
applications.
In
August,
Senator
Harris
held
a
DACA
Roundtable
with
Dreamers
at
the
Downtown
UCLA
Labor
Center

Let's
continue
to
support
and
protect
the
more
than
800,000
young
people,
including
more
than
200,000
Californians,
who
have
only
ever
known
the
United
States
of
America
as
their
home.
