What this amendment would do

SA 6355, submitted by Mr. Durbin, aims to add a new section (SEC. 1094) to the bill S. 4784. The purpose is to exempt certain individuals from civil immigration enforcement.

The amendment seeks to prevent actions such as arrest, detention, placement in removal proceedings, and the issuance of removal orders against:

  • People who receive Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), unless the Department of Homeland Security determines they no longer meet the program requirements.

  • Applicants seeking to renew DACA who appear prima facie eligible, until a final decision is made on their renewal application.
