As the Trump administration announced they had officially rescinded the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA), ICE continues to actively deport families without criminal records and stoke fear in communities.  Tom Perez released the following statement on Trump’s actions that tear families apart:

“Democrats believe that our country’s greatness lies in its compassion and its diversity. That’s why we’ve continued to stand up and fight for immigrant parents and their children who want nothing more than the chance at a better life in America.

“This decision is yet another unconscionable act by the Trump administration to target innocent families. Taking parents away from their children doesn’t make our country safer. It devastates communities, hurts our economy, and undermines our national security. Such heartless actions are an affront to American values and a betrayal of our place as the world’s beacon of liberty, equality, and opportunity for all people.”
