Today, the Supreme Court decided to review President Obama’s executive order from 2014 to expand Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and implement Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA). Center for Popular Democracy (CPD) applauds this decision and CPD’s Co-Executive Director Ana Maria Archila made the following statement about the Supreme Court’s decision to review the case:

 “This is an excellent opportunity for the Supreme Court to do right by millions of immigrants who live with the daily fear of being torn apart from their families. Obama’s executive order is not only crucial for immigrant communities, it also stands to unleash enormous economic benefits to the entire country. We are urging the Supreme Court to respect the lives and safety of millions of immigrant families and make the decision to finally implement DAPA and expand DACA.”
