An exciting bi-partisan effort to force a series of votes on immigration policies (including DACA) in the US House needs 218 Reps to sign on. They are just a few signatures away!
Yesterday Rep Erik Paulson signed on. Now the only MN Representatives who have not yet signed on are Rep. Tom Emmer and Rep. Jason Lewis!
Read MoreThe March 5th DACA deadline is all but gone, with no legislative solution for Dreamers. Or TPS holders. Or DED holders. Meanwhile ICE detention and deportations are ripping families apart. Our legislators are failing our immigrant brothers and sisters.
“Beyond DACA” is a series of actions hosted by local immigrant rights groups THIS WEEK to hold our MN legislators to account for their in/action. Let’s join them in demanding permanent protection for all!

Last week the US Senate failed to find a legal pathway to citizenship for 800,000 #DACA recipients (7,000 in MN). With 2 different federal courts blocking the WH’s ending of DACA on March 5th, some seem to think the pressure to find a solution is off. We need to keep the pressure on! These young people need a #DreamActNow #HereToStay
Call your US Congress person and tell them to get on with it! They’re on recess this week, so it’s a good time to catch them. Call their office, email them, tweet them. For more info on what to say: Town Hall Questions

Senate Fails to Act on DACA
Is the March 5 DACA Deadline Meaningful?
Shame on Congress for failing to include a solution for #Dreamers in the latest funding bill. Call your US House of Representatives and US Senate reps and tell them to pass a #CleanDreamAct now!
Discussions are set to start next week because they have until Mar 5th to find a legal pathway to citizenship for 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought into this country illegally as children (7,000 in MN alone). Let’s hold them to it!
In March 2018, an estimated 1,500 people will begin to lose current DACA status every day. To prevent this, Congress must act to pass the Dream Act into law.
