Hispanic Organizations Urge Biden Administration to Use Its Authorities to Support Immigrant Families
UnidosUS and 23 national organizations that work to empower Hispanic communities sent a letter to Secretary Mayorkas and Attorney General Garland urging them to utilize existing authorities to provide much-needed relief, fairness, and stability to immigrant families. The letter identifies specific policy considerations, including reducing the backlog in the “provisional waiver” program and providing those stuck in the queue the chance to apply for temporary work authorization, and establishing a process to make non-lawful permanent resident cancellation of removal more accessible to those who are eligible.
