FWD.us, an organization that believes families thrive when the economy achieves its potential, says DACA recipients are on the frontlines of the coronavirus. According to published data, almost a third of the DACA population, which is estimated to be more than 200,000 DACA recipients, are employed in essential services.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy is known to two hundred healthcare and pharmaceutical companies, medical research firms, and hospital systems.
All across local, state and federal government, as well as industry, workers in health care, social assistance, custodial and food services, and more are working hard to help communities survive the coronavirus pandemic.
DACA allows individuals in the United States to receive a two-year period of deferred action from deportation and become eligible for a work permit.
Amidst the current crisis, healthcare professionals and other experts are speaking out to urge the Supreme Court to protect DACA recipients and allow them to continue their vital work.
