A decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals makes travel on an advance parole more DACA recipients. Read the advisory provided by the National Immigrant Justice Center for more information.

On January 17, 2025, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision holding that the Biden Administration’s 2022 DACA regulation was unlawful. The decision continues to block the government from approving new DACA applications. DACA renewals may continue for now.

POC’s Immigration Legal Practitioner, Mercedes, helps families navigate immigration applications every day and knows firsthand how rising application costs have become major barriers.

Inspired by these challenges, her younger sister — a rising senior at Chicago's Lane Tech College Prep — organized a fundraiser through her school club to help POC clients cover immigration application fees: https://tinyurl.com/SupportPOCviaLaneTech

Every donation goes directly toward helping families afford these costs. Thank you for supporting this amazing student-led effort!
