Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senators Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Luján, along with 39 Democratic colleagues, criticized the Trump Administration's treatment of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients in a letter to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. They referenced a statement indicating some DACA recipients are not protected from deportation, which they contend contradicts existing DHS guidelines.
The senators urged for a correction of the statement made by DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, asserting that DACA recipients are not unlawfully present in the U.S. They also highlighted the emotional and social harm caused by recent enforcement actions against DACA holders, which they claim violate legal protections upheld by the Fifth Circuit Court.
The letter concluded with a request for clarity on DACA enforcement and reinforced the significant public support for DACA recipients. The senators emphasized the need for the Administration to adhere to DACA protections to prevent further disruption of families and communities.
