The Trump administration, led by Stephen Miller, has used legal status as a weapon – stripping deportation protections away from people who've lived and worked here for decades on a whim. And Miller's attacks on immigrants are only getting deadlier. Congress must act immediately to create lasting, meaningful protections for Dreamers and Temporary Protected Status recipients. The Dream and Promise Act creates a path to citizenship and legal protections from deportation. It would keep families from being torn apart by the Trump administration's deportation force and allow people to continue working and thriving in their communities. Congress right now could create a pathway to citizenship for the millions of immigrants who have built families, careers, and lives in the United States – but despite bipartisan support, it hasn't been brought to the floor for a vote. Congress can't choose inaction when ICE agents are attacking and even shooting people in our streets, and thousands are being endangered by ICE violence and deadly detention sites – with no regard for their rights, dignity, or families left behind. I call on you as my elected official to force a vote on The Dream and Promise Act today and make our country truly great again.
