Only 10 days left until we embark on the 3rd phase of our National Campaign to Restore DACA’s Advance Parole and will take 50+ Dreamers to Washington, D.C. during November 9-15, 2019; including 30 Dreamers that have filed their humanitarian Advance Parole applications as part of our Advance Parole Assistance Program, to personally advocate for expedited approval of their I-131, Advance Parole applications.
Read the CMSC's letter address to President Trump and DHS regarding the dire need to restore DACA's Advance Parole
CAMPAIGN OBJECTIVES
- To request expedited approval and advocacy for current Advance Parole cases (from our AP Assistance Program)
- Secure additional signatures for a bicameral “Dear Colleagues” letter requested from Reps. Zoe Lofgren, Lucille Roybal-Allard, Alan Lowenthal, and Sen. Kamala Harris.
- To request meetings with the DHS Secretary and USCIS Director
- Ask for an oversight hearing on Advance Parole or at least include AP on the agenda of an oversight hearing
- Participate in a forum with CA delegation at their weekly lunch meeting for a couple of Dreamers to share their personal suffering and dire need for Advance Parole (on Wed. Nov. 13)
- Visit all congressional offices that pertain to the districts of participating Dreamers, and those that we did not visit in the past two advocacy trips.
But we cannot do it alone! We need your help. Please donate to our campaign today!
This phase of our campaign is essential because the Dream and Promise Act of 2019 is unlikely to be approved by the current Senate, and the U.S. Supreme Court will not rule on the future of DACA until next summer. Therefore, Dreamers remain in limbo and their dire need for humanitarian travel will continue to be denied Advance Parole authorization for an indefinite period.

U.S. extends protections for many Salvadorans living in US
By: Luis Alonso Lugo & Christopher Sherman ~ The Washington Post ~ Oct. 28, 2019
WASHINGTON — The United States government said Monday it is extending protections for more than 200,000 citizens of El Salvador who have been living in the country under temporary protected status, in a boost for Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele.
U.S. Ambassador Ronald Johnson, appearing in a video with Bukele said that agreement “extends the (temporary protected status) for Salvadorans who are in the United States for one more year.”
Later, Ken Cuccinelli, acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, appeared to contradict the ambassador, saying via Twitter that the actual TPS program for Salvadorans wasn’t being extended in legal terms: “That’s not what happened.”
The effect, however, appeared to be essentially the same: Salvadorans who have been living in the U.S. under the TPS program — safe from deportation and allowed to work legally — will continue to do so for at least a year after courts resolve a challenge to the Trump administration’s attempt to end TPS for El Salvador and several other countries...
