Oregonians react to Supreme Court ruling on DACA

The Supreme Court on Thursday, June 18, rejected the Trump White House's effort to end legal protections for 650,000 young immigrants via the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program.

U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, whose district includes Washington County, spoke out early Thursday. "I have spoken with many Dreamers in Northwest Oregon, and with every conversation I am inspired by the resiliency and hope of these young adults," she wrote. "DACA allowed them to dream about their future, and to build lives, families, and careers — until the Trump administration placed them in limbo. Now they can dream again. … Dreamers have grown up here, and they are an important part of our community and our economy."
