Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship Chair Zoe Lofgren hails the Supreme Court’s ruling that the Trump Administration’s attempt to end DACA was unlawful.

"By employing commonsense strategies to minimize blackouts and maximize resilience, we’re working to prevent disruptions to our lives and livelihoods and ensure a sustainable future for Californians and all Americans."

"Preserving the rule of law and nation’s long tradition of asylum-seeking is crucial."

"We're concerned about the ability of ICE and CBP to access personal information related to individuals approved for DACA."

"The killings of Mr. Floyd, Mr. Arbery, and Ms. Taylor all illustrate the need for national evidence-based policing and training standards that promote safe and humane local, state, and federal law enforcement practices, as well as an increase in federal resources to incentivize reform."

"It is deeply concerning that ICE appears to be interfering with ORR’s legal obligation to place children in the least restrictive settings appropriate for them, including placement with suitable sponsors."

"It is especially galling that DHS would choose a time of global pandemic to target such vulnerable children, denying them access to basic due process protections and a meaningful chance to have their cases reopened and appropriately considered."
