AG Curtis Hill calls for congressional action to preserve the essence of DACA

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill has written an op-ed calling upon Congress to take action to preserve some variation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy, which was created by executive memorandum during the Obama administration.

“No one can credibly suggest that individuals brought as children to the United States by adults illegally crossing U.S. borders are themselves guilty of any wrongdoing,” Attorney General Hill writes. “Having grown up in the United States, they are as ‘American’ as any one of us.”

The full op-ed is attached. Any outlet choosing to publish this op-ed is asked, as a courtesy, to please inform Deputy Communications Director Bill McCleery at bill.mccleery@atg.in.gov. Thank you.
