Many children grow up in this country unaware that they are not legal citizens. Often, they don’t learn that they aren’t citizens until they try to get a driver license or receive a deportation notice. In June 2012, the federal government enacted a new policy called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which helps these immigrants, known as Dreamers, stay in the country as long as they meet certain guidelines. The immigration attorneys at Pollack, Pollack, Isaac & DeCicco, LLP in New York City are eager to help these young people, brought to the United States as children, stay here, despite efforts to limit DACA or end it completely.
Litigation before the Supreme Court regarding DACA is likely to be decided in the 2019–2020 term. In the meantime, some members of Congress continue to seek a legislative solution that addresses the approximately 800,000 people whose ability to remain in the United States is under threat. No matter what happens, it’s important for Dreamers to understand the latest legal developments and protect their legal rights. We’ll keep you updated on relevant matters including:
Our firm has three offices in the New York City area to handle DACA renewals and other concerns for those who were brought to the United States as children and lack legal immigration status.
