Ruling Devastates Young Immigrants About To Receive DACA Protections

Lady Lyons, a 19-year-old college student, faces challenges due to her undocumented status despite qualifying for DACA. The program, which protects young immigrants from deportation, was ruled illegal by a Texas judge, affecting many like Lyons. She missed out on DACA protection when Trump ended it in 2017, and although it reopened, her application wasn't processed in time. Pressure is mounting on Congress to provide permanent protections for undocumented immigrants. Current DACA recipients can renew their protections, but future changes are uncertain. Lyons and others urge Democrats to include a citizenship pathway in upcoming legislation.
