June 30, 2019 - SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom released the following statement regarding the Supreme Court of the United States’ decision to hear the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) case in their next term:

“President Trump’s attacks on the DACA program have kept over 200,000 Californian DACA recipients and their families living with fear and uncertainty about their future. While we are hopeful that the Supreme Court will bring justice to the young people who contribute deeply to our state and nation, the Senate and President Trump must take action now through H.R. 6. In California, we will continue to stand behind DACA recipients. Every day they demonstrate resilience and a will to succeed in the face of federal hostility. They represent the best of us and their future should not be hanging in the balance.”​

UC statement on Supreme Court review of DACA

University of California President Janet Napolitano issued the following statement on Friday:

Given the clear national importance of this issue, it is unsurprising that the Supreme Court would grant review. We look forward to presenting our case to the Court and continuing our efforts in Congress to secure a permanent legislative solution for the Dreamers.

As we move forward, UC will continue to provide services and aid to our undocumented students and encourage all DACA recipients to apply for renewals, which are still protected by the nationwide injunction UC secured in California, as well as the rulings of multiple other courts across the country.
