#Durbin’s departure will reverberate in the #Senate, where he played a prominent role on a host of big issues & was considered a forceful advocate of party positions. He was among the first to push for a path to #citizenship for some #undocumented immigrants brought to the #UnitedStates illegally as children, a group that came to be known as #Dreamers that became the focal point of successive failed efforts to overhaul #immigration laws.
It is indeed!
Sorry I've been absent for so long, but the days before spring break are packed. Today was the first day I was able to open my manuscript and write.
How are your days going?
When presidents push big changes through executive orders, they often face a key obstacle: A single federal judge—whether in Seattle, Miami, or anywhere in between—can block these policies nationwide. A law professor explains: https://buff.ly/TN7OtmY #immigration #dreamers

“When a president claims the inherent power of both legislation and enforcement, he becomes a virtual government unto himself. He is not simply posing a danger to the constitutional system; he becomes the very danger that the Constitution was designed to avoid.” #GOPHypocrisy

Over 600 people have applied to my call for dreamers and builders to join our team at Pixelfed!
I was not expecting this level of interest, and it will take me a few more weeks to go through them all.
Y'all going to make me cry, I can't believe the outpouring of support we are getting!
We can build better, together. And we will. 
Raids start tomorrow.

BLESSED ARE THE WEIRD PEOPLE
I don’t know what the press at large or anyone else is thinking letting Trump say he’s going to help #Dreamers in an interview.
Reality says otherwise. Are people this incapable of remembering?

In addition to the fact that Democrats negotiated and passed legislation for Dreamers while Trump was President and Republicans killed it.
Donald Trump’s allies and some in the private sector have been quietly preparing to detain and deport #migrants residing in the United States on a large scale, according to four sources familiar with the discussions.https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/07/politics/trump-immigrant-detention-plans/index.html #USA #DonaldTrump #Trump #Deportation #Dreamers
And with the former president becoming the president-elect, those preparations are now expected to ramp up.
»Als Carlos neun Jahre alt war, kam er mit seiner mexikanischen Familie illegal nach #Chicago, hatte aber ein Aufenthaltsrecht. Im Alter von 18 Jahren änderte sich alles. Er lebt seither ohne gültige Papiere in den #USA und gehört zu den rund zwei Millionen sogenannten #Dreamers. Sein Alltag ist ein Leben im Schatten. Schon ein Verkehrsdelikt kann zur Abschiebung führen.«

That means long separations from their spouses & families. The new program would allow families to remain in the country while they pursue #legal status.
The announcement could amount to the most sweeping unilateral move by a president to provide relief to unauthorized #immigrants since President Barack Obama implemented #DACA. In a separate move on Tues, #Biden is also expected to announce new ways to help people in DACA, known as #Dreamers, gain access to work #visas.
Welcome news for undocumented #immigrants:
Biden will announce Tues that the undocumented spouses of US citizens will be granted access to a new pathway to legalization.
This is reportedly another thing the WH will be announcing soon regarding #dreamers.
Steps to streamline the 212(d)(3) waiver process that'd increase participation in this existing legal pathway, allowing many Dreamers to access a more secure status & open up paths to citizenship in the future.
