NAKASEC celebrates the decision made today by U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen of Texas to not block the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program. What this ruling means is that for the time being, the federal government will continue to accept DACA renewal applications. Our young leaders have been at the forefront of organizing and advocating for undocumented immigrants since the threat to DACA first became public. Two NAKASEC DACAmented leaders submitted testimony as part of a counter lawsuit led by MALDEF. We encourage DACA recipients to renew NOW.

To Josh Collins and his wife, Jessica Salazar Collins, something seemed off about the Bank of America mailer.
They had each banked with the company since the early 2000s, and the couple from outside Kansas City was surprised to find the letter from their bank four to six weeks ago. The font looked altered. The bank’s logo looked “weird.” The paper wasn’t glossy, but instead looked as if it had just come off a black-and-white photocopy machine.

From Friday, July 20 to Sunday, July 22, undocumented young people, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipients, and community leaders from the Black and Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) immigrant communities convened in the greater Los Angeles area for a three-day long conference. This conference, titled Woori Ujima, woori meaning “our” in Korean and ujima meaning “collective work and responsibility” in Swahili, was spearheaded by the UndocuBlack Network and NAKASEC & Affiliates, KRC and Hana Center. The conference was held in Los Angeles, which was the location where the 1992 Los Angeles Civil Unrest took place, also called Los Angeles Uprising in recognition of its nature as protest against police brutality against black people - specifically the beating of Rodney King, as well as a history of violence and repression against people of color.
