A blaring siren for Democrats after ruling halts DACA
Immigrants and advocates are urging Democrats and President Joe Biden to quickly act on legislation to protect young immigrants after a federal judge in Texas on Friday ruled illegal an Obama-era program that prevents the deportation of thousands of them brought into the U.S. as children.
Plaintiffs have vowed to appeal the decision by U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen, who declared the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program illegal, barring the government from approving any new applications, but leaving the program intact for existing recipients.
Calling the ruling a âblaring sirenâ for Democrats, United We Dream Executive Director Greisa Martinez Rosas said they would be solely to blame if legislative reform doesn t happen.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer was killed while reporting on the conflict between the Afghan army and the Taliban
Reuters News Agency’s Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer recorded the killing of the Afghan army and the Taliban in a battle near the strategic border crossing during the continued withdrawal of the U.S. and NATO troops on Friday.
Siddiqui, a 38-year-old Dane, has served in the Afghan Special Forces for the past few days and was killed when a commando fought to control the Spin Boldak border crossing in southern Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Siddiqui is a member of a team that won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Thematic Photography for reporting on Rohingya refugees fleeing Myanmar. Recently, he captured scorching photos of India’s fight against COVID-19 and protests against the new agricultural law.
