Hope for DREAMers
The Supreme Court of the United States issued its decision on June 18, 2020 and officially halted the Trump administration’s attempts to end DACA. But its narrow decision also means the government can still terminate DACA if it follows the proper procedures. Only a new immigration law would provide a permanent solution.
CADF 2020 will take place virtually from September 1 to 3
The Central America Donors Forum (CADF) will focus on the reinvention and resistance displayed across the region in times of crisis.
