Approximately <\/em>800,000 undocumented young immigrants<\/em><\/a>, including 36,000 LGBTQ DREAMers, face detention and deportation under President Trump\u2019s reversal of the DACA program<\/em><\/p>\n

NEW YORK<\/strong> \u2013 GLAAD, the world\u2019s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, strongly condemned today\u2019s announcement by President Donald Trump to effectively reverse the nation\u2019s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. This policy, carried out by President Barack Obama and his administration, protected an estimated 800,000 young undocumented immigrants (DREAMers) who were brought to the United States as young children from detention and deportation. Contrary to this policy move, a large majority of Americans (about 64%) support the DACA program in a recent poll conducted by NBC News and SurveyMonkey<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to reports<\/a>, the Trump Administration had been \u201creviewing its options\u201d on DACA for months with President Trump even saying on record that DREAMers should \u201crest easy<\/a>\u201d concerning his immigration policies. Today\u2019s policy announcement, however, is a complete one-eighty since President Trump\u2019s inauguration as it reverts back to his campaign promise<\/a> to dismantle DACA in the first place.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s choice to dismantle DACA is an attack on about 800,000 DREAMers, their families, and their communities, and\u00a0will expose them to racial targeting by ICE and deportation to a place that they have never called home in the first place,\u201d said Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO of GLAAD<\/strong>. \u201cAlong with his Muslim ban and pardon of Joe Arpaio, this cruel act is a trifecta of President Trump\u2019s full embrace to the violent, out-of-touch ideology of white supremacists. The LGBTQ community stands with fair-minded Americans in demanding that hardworking and patriotic DREAMers be allowed access to the American Dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

So far, the DACA program has allowed undocumented immigrants who entered the United States before the age of 16, and met other federal government requirements, to receive a temporary work permit and protection from deportation for a renewable two-year period. According to the Williams Institute<\/a>, there are approximately 75,000 LGBTQ DREAMers living in the United States with about 36,000 who have participated in the DACA program. A poll conduct by Morning Consult just this month showed that nearly 8 out of 10 Americans<\/a> supported allowing DREAMers to permanently remain in this country.<\/p>\n

Aviso de GLAAD Sobre DACA<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Aproximadamente\u00a0<\/em>800.000 inmigrantes j\u00f3venes\u00a0<\/em><\/a>, incluyendo 36.000 \u201cDREAMers\u201d LGBTQ podr\u00e1n ser detenidos y deportados por las acciones de Presidente\u00a0Trump<\/em><\/p>\n

Nueva York<\/strong>\u00a0– GLAAD, la organizaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s grande que aboga por las personas lesbianas,\u00a0gays<\/a>, bisexuales,\u00a0transg\u00e9nero\u00a0y\u00a0queer\u00a0(LGBTQ) en los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n, conden\u00f3 en\u00e9rgicamente el anuncio de hoy del presidente Donald\u00a0Trump\u00a0que efectivamente revierte el programa de Acci\u00f3n Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s). Esta pol\u00edtica, llevada a cabo por el presidente Barack Obama y su administraci\u00f3n, protegi\u00f3 a unos 800.000 j\u00f3venes inmigrantes indocumentados (DREAMers) que vinieron a los Estados Unidos como ni\u00f1os peque\u00f1os de la detenci\u00f3n y la deportaci\u00f3n. En contraste con esta pol\u00edtica de la administraci\u00f3n, una alta mayor\u00eda de estadounidenses (aproximadamente 64%) estaban a favor de DACA en una encuesta reci\u00e9n implementada por NBC News y\u00a0SurveyMonkey.<\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan informes, la Administraci\u00f3n\u00a0Trump\u00a0hab\u00eda estado “revisando sus opciones” referente a DACA durante meses y el Presidente\u00a0Trump\u00a0incluso dijo que los\u00a0DREAMers\u00a0debian\u00a0“descansar tranquilo” con respecto a sus pol\u00edticas de inmigraci\u00f3n. Sin embargo, el anuncio de hoy representa un cambio completo y\u00a0Trump\u00a0ahora vuelve a su promesa que hizo como candidato de desmantelar a DACA.<\/p>\n

“La decisi\u00f3n del Presidente\u00a0Trump\u00a0de desmantelar a DACA es un ataque contra unos 800.000\u00a0DREAMers, sus familias y sus comunidades, y ahora los expone a la selecci\u00f3n por perfiles raciales de parte de ICE y la deportaci\u00f3n a una tierra que a veces ni conocen,\u201d\u00a0dijo Sarah Kate Ellis, Presidenta y CEO de GLAAD.<\/strong>\u00a0“Junto con su prohibici\u00f3n de entrada al pa\u00eds a musulmanes y el perd\u00f3n de\u00a0Joe\u00a0Arpaio, este acto cruel es una\u00a0trifecta\u00a0del abrazo total del presidente\u00a0Trump\u00a0a la ideolog\u00eda violenta de los supremacistas blancos. Toda la comunidad LGBTQ se solidariza\u00a0con los estadounidenses de mentalidad justa en exigir que los\u00a0DREAMers, personas trabajadoras y patri\u00f3ticas, tengan acceso al Sue\u00f1o Americano “.<\/p>\n

Hasta ahora, DACA ha permitido que inmigrantes indocumentados que ingresaron a los Estados Unidos antes de los 16 a\u00f1os y cumplieron con otros requisitos del gobierno federal puedan recibir un permiso de trabajo temporal y protecci\u00f3n contra la deportaci\u00f3n por un per\u00edodo renovable de dos a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan el Instituto Williams, hay aproximadamente 75.000\u00a0DREAMers\u00a0LGBTQ viviendo en los Estados Unidos con aproximadamente 36.000 que han participado en el programa DACA. Una encuesta realizada por\u00a0Morning\u00a0Consult\u00a0apenas este mes mostr\u00f3 que casi 8 de cada 10 estadounidenses apoyaban permitiendo que los\u00a0DREAMers\u00a0puedan permanecer permanentemente en este pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n
