EL 5to. Circuito de la Corte de Apelaciones niega el pedido de emergencia de “permanecer”, dejando a millones de familias Inmigrantes en el Limbo

EL 5to. Circuito de la Corte de Apelaciones niega el pedido de emergencia de “permanecer”, dejando a millones de familias Inmigrantes en el Limbo.
Causa tiene confianza de que al final de todo este proceso, las maniobras anti-inmigrantes, no funcionarán.
Miles de Familias Inmigrantes continúan esperando. Se prepara para la Implementación mientras la larga batalla Legal de Inmigración se desarrolla.
Salem, Ore.- Hoy la Corte estadounidense de Apelaciones por el 5to. Circuito, negó al Departamento de Justicia estadounidense el pedido de emergencia de “permanecer” en la demanda de Inmigración: Texas versus Estados Unidos de Norte América.
El Juez Federal de Texas, Andrew Hanen dio a conocer un mandato a mediados de Febrero, parando temporariamente la implementación de Acción diferida para padres de residentes legales permanentes, o de ciudadanos americanos,(DAPA) y expansión de la Acción diferida para los llegados en la infancia, (DACA).
Miles de inmigrantes en Oregon, tanto como 5 millones de inmigrantes en todo el país, son forzados a esperar, viviendo en temor de ser deportados y ser separados de sus familias.
“Políticos anti inmigrantes presentaron este caso estratégicamente donde lo hicieron con el propósito de demorar el alivio para los trabajadores inmigrantes de Oregon”, dijo Andrea Miller, Directora Ejecutiva de Causa. “ Nosotros tenemos confianza de que vamos a ganar esta demanda y finalmente, millones de trabajadores inmigrantes, podrán vivir, trabajar y quedarse en el único país que ellos llaman “hogar”.
El 5to. Circuito probablemente, sostendrá una audiencia para decidir si se levanta el primer mandato y permite la implementación de DAPA/DAPA más los programas que procedan. Al mismo tiempo, el Departamento de Justicia podría pedir a la Suprema Corte de Justicia Americana, imponer una “suspensión” en contra de la orden judicial.
A pesar de movimiento lento de la demanda antiinmigrante a través del sistema judicial, apoyo para las familias inmigrantes y el programa de Acción diferida, se ha estado construyendo. Más de 100 expertos han salido a declarar que el Presidente Obama, actuó dentro de su autoridad. Amicus brief y declaraciones públicas separadas de apoyo, han sido hechas por Gobernadores, procuradores , oficiales de la Ley, docenas de alcaldes de ciudades importantes y oficiales públicos y otros, en apoyo de los programas de DAPA y expansión de DACA.
“ Desde el principio, esta demanda ha sido una táctica de miedo de los políticos inmigrantes para asustar a los inmigrantes elegibles para solicitar DAPA y DACA. Hemos visto esta clase de ataque anteriormente y nuestras comunidades han continuado fortaleciéndose y uniéndose.
No hay duda acerca de eso_ DACA y DAPA son legalmente correctos, moralmente justos y económicamente inteligentes- y los políticos anti inmigrantes de esta demanda necesitan dejar de obstruir el camino, así millones pueden salir adelante y luego contribuir con nuestras comunidades”, dijo Miller.
La semana pasada como parte del Día Nacional de Acción para pelear#Fight4DAPA. Causa y alidos de todo el Estado, lanzaron “Oregon Immigration Resource”, una página bilingüe de información para proveer guía y recursos para la comunidad, acerca de los nuevos y ya existentes programas y oportunidades. Las familias que desean más información acerca de los programas de Alivio Administrativo del Presidente Obama, foros a llevarse a cabo, el proceso en las cortes y/o asistencia, pueden visitar: www.oregonimmigrationresource.org

5th Circuit Court of Appeals Court Denies Emergency Stay Request, Keeping Millions of Immigrant Families in Limbo

5th Circuit Court of Appeals Court Denies Emergency Stay Request, Keeping Millions of Immigrant Families in Limbo

Causa Remains Confident that At the End of the Day, Anti-Immigrant Legal Maneuvers Won’t Work

Thousands of Immigrant Families Continue to Wait, Prepare for Implementation as Long Legal Battle of Immigration Action Unfolds

Salem, Ore. – Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit denied the US Department of Justice’s request for an emergency stay in the anti-immigrant lawsuit, Texas v. United States of America. Texas Federal Judge Andrew Hanen issued an injunction in mid-February temporarily halting the implementation of the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) programs. 

Thousands of Oregon immigrants, up to as many as five million immigrants across the country, are forced to wait, continuing to live in fear of deportation and being torn from their families. 

“Anti-immigrant politicians strategically filed this case in order to delay relief for hardworking immigrants in Oregon”, said Andrea Miller, Causa's Executive Director.  “We are confident that we will win this lawsuit and, finally, millions of hardworking immigrants will be able to live, work, and stay in the only country they call home.”

The Fifth Circuit will likely hold a hearing to decide whether to lift the preliminary injunction and allow implementation of the new DAPA/DACA+ programs to proceed. At the same time, the Department of Justice could ask the U.S. Supreme Court to impose an emergency stay against the injunction.

Despite the slow movement of the anti-immigrant lawsuit through the court system, support for immigrant families and the deferred action programs has been building. More than 100 legal scholars have come forward declaring President Obama acted within his authority. Separate amicus briefs and public statements of support have been made by governors, attorneys general, law enforcement officers, dozens of large city mayors and public officials, and others in the case supporting the expanded DACA and DAPA programs. 

“From the beginning, this lawsuit has been a fear tactic by anti-immigrant politicians to scare away eligible immigrants from applying for DACA and DAPA. We’ve seen these kinds of attacks before, and our communities have continued to grow stronger and more united. There’s no doubt about it - DAPA and DACA are legally sound, morally right, and economically smart – and the anti-immigrant politicians in this lawsuit need to get out of the way so millions can come forward and further contribute to their communities”, said Miller.

Last week, as part of the National Day of Action to #Fight4DAPA, Causa and statewide partners launched Oregon Immigration Resource -- a bilingual information hub to provide guidance and resources for the community about new and existing immigration programs and opportunities.  Families wanting more information about President Obama's Deferred Action programs, upcoming informational forums, the court process and/or assistance can visit www.oregonimmigrationresource.org.
