Topics:
  • Immigration Policy
  • Administrative Relief
  • Deferred Action
  • Advocacy
  • Temporary Protected Status (TPS)

The Trump administration has announced the discontinuance of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and has indicated plans to phase out Temporary Protected Status (TPS) which nationwide combine to provide 1.1 million immigrants the opportunity to work and live in this country without fear of deportation. These programs grant legal protections to immigrants escaping natural disasters, escaping war-ravaged conditions, or those brought to the United States as children. This discussion will examine the response in New York, including affirmative litigation challenging the end of DACA, the government response, the potential impact on access to government benefits and offers a historical perspective on what these changes mean for U.S. immigration law and policy.
