The lawsuits against the DACA program

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15
PROGRAM #10549 12:00 PM PT

Immigration Edition. 

Amid high expectation, the New Orleans Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals held a hearing on DACA to consider the lawsuits against the DACA program (Texas v. United States) and the Biden-Harris Administration’s recently announced ‘Keeping Families Together’ process (Texas v. DHS.) Experts discuss the content of the lawsuits and the legal protections that are at stake. On other news, as two hurricanes hit Florida, presidential candidate Donald Trump amplified misinformation on the response to Hurricane Helene, claiming that the Federal Emergency Management Agency is running out of money because funds have been diverted to address migration. FEMA felt compelled to create a false “rumor response” page. This program also includes news about tonight’s debate in Texas between Ted Cruz and Colin Allred.

Guests: Adonías Arévalo, Spokesperson, Poder Latinx. Miami, FL; Keilly León, North Regional Organizer, Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition-CIRC, Denver, CO; Roberta S. Braga, Founder and Executive Director, Digital Democracy Institute of the Americas-DDIA, Washington, DC.
