A significant bloc of 95 members of Congress has penned a stern letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, vehemently condemning what they describe as a “blatant disregard” for the protections afforded to immigrants under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The lawmakers are demanding to know the extent of recent detentions and deportations of DACA recipients, often referred to as “Dreamers.”
The letter, shared with The Guardian and formally submitted to Secretary Noem on Wednesday morning, outlines a sharp denunciation of what the representatives see as a disturbing increase in the wrongful detention and deportation of individuals residing in the U.S. under DACA.
