About the #DED4DACA Campaign
In response to adverse judicial rulings, President Biden should prepare to direct Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) on a class-wide or country-by-country basis to the approximately 1.5 million individuals who currently receive or would be eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
About
Support
The #DED4DACA Campaign advocates for the President’s use of deferred enforced departure (DED) to protect the DACA-eligible population from an adverse judicial decision. Withdrawing DACA-protections from current recipients and foreclosing potentially eligible individuals from receiving them implicates and would have adverse consequences for U.S. foreign policy interests. The President’s independent foreign relations authority allows him to grant DED to this population, ensuring that they continue to receive employment authorization and protection against removal. DED is not a permanent solution, but it should be considered either on its own or as part of a larger patchwork of executive actions.
Over 90 state, local, national, and international organizations, support granting Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) on a class-wide or country-by-country basis to the approximately 1.5 million individuals who currently receive or would be eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
