“DACA recipients have done everything right, and yet the Trump Administration continues to punish them,” said Rep. Sara Jacobs. “Republicans will claim that immigrants have to play by the rules, but even when they follow every single rule and live up to every single standard, this Administration still finds a way to create new roadblocks. USCIS’s prolonged delays of DACA renewals mean recipients are losing their jobs, unable to provide for their families, and at risk of detention or deportation. They came to this country through no fault of their own, and now they’re being punished again through no fault of their own. We will keep pushing for Dreamers to be able to stay, work, and live in the only home they’ve ever known permanently.”
Letter signers: “USCIS recommends that DACA recipients submit renewal applications between 120-150 days before their current form expires. Despite adhering to these guidelines, several of our constituents have yet to hear back from USCIS regarding their pending DACA renewal applications. Additionally, while USCIS indicates that processing times for Form I-821D is approximately 3.5 months, several cases have exceeded this timeframe. Allowing these cases to lapse causes work permits to expire and puts individuals at risk, as employers are forced to lay off DACA recipients, including essential workers, unless their renewals are approved in time. During the first quarter of FY 2026, USCIS reported that there were a total of 54,110 DACA renewal applications designated as pending. Given these urgent circumstances, it is critical that DACA renewal applications be expedited and processed as soon as possible."

Nikema Williams“We write to object to your new policy memorandum regarding adjustment of status. Adjustment of status is the statutory process by which immigrants may apply for lawful permanent residence, often called a ‘green card,’ from within the United States,” wrote the lawmakers. “On May 21, 2026, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a policy memorandum (PM-602-0199) with guidance claiming that adjustment of status is an ‘extraordinary form of relief.’ Without any basis in the law and in a departure from decades of precedent, this guidance creates a policy preference for consular processing abroad over adjustment of status in the United States, requiring applicants to meet new, undefined discretionary criteria to be processed domestically. We urge you to reverse this new policy and restore adjudications of adjustment of status applications in a manner consistent with the law, longstanding practice, and congressional intent.”

When renewals lapse, DACA recipients face disruptions to employment, income stability, and daily life—effects that ripple beyond individual households into the broader regional economy,” continued the Members. “The consequences are already visible in our state: school districts are placing Dreamer educators on unpaid administrative leave mid-year, and other workers are missing shifts, because timely, properly filed renewals remain unadjudicated.”

“It is important to note that California law protects communities and prevents federal agents from taking certain actions here that we have witnessed in other states. While the President may enjoy absolute immunity curtesy of his rouge Supreme Court, those who operate under his orders do not. Our state and local authorities may arrest federal agents if they break California law — and if they are convicted, the President cannot pardon them.

We call upon Customs and Border Protection to immediately respond to Congressional inquiries and provide the justification behind these individuals’ continued detainment and threatened deportation scheduled for later this afternoon.

In a bicameral letter sent today, the lawmakers condemn the deployments as an unlawful overreach that bypassed state and local authority and urge the immediate withdrawal of the National Guard and Marines.
“We are writing to express grave concern regarding the deployment of the National Guard and the activation of 700 Marines to Los Angeles. These actions were taken without the consent of California Governor Gavin Newsom and over the objections of local law enforcement. It constitutes a clear violation of constitutional principles and law, and a grave overreach of executive authority,” wrote the lawmakers.

“It is stupid that ICE is now arresting families and children for obeying the law. The detained immigrants were diligently cooperating with law enforcement and complying with the law by reporting to their regularly scheduled check-in with ICE. These families were following their normal routine – and if the purpose of ICE is to ensure immigration laws and processes are enforced and followed, these arrests run counter to that mission and are inconsistent with it."
“This is not about national security. It is about using immigration enforcement as a weapon to stifle political dissent, restrict due process, and enforce an exclusionary and nativist vision of America that runs counter to everything our institutions of higher learning stand for,” wrote the Members. “Across the country, students are being picked up – in some cases by masked immigration agents in unmarked cars – and being held in detention facilities with no warning and limited information as to why they are being deported.”
