Governor Lamont on Supreme Court Decision Rejecting President Trump’s Attempt to Rescind DACA
(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today released the following statement regarding the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court to overrule President Trump’s attempt to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program:
“The Supreme Court affirmed today what we have been saying all along – Dreamers are members of our communities and any attempt to change that would be unjust and wrong. Tearing people from the only homes they have ever known is cruel, heartless, and – despite what the administration may claim – doesn’t even serve a national security purpose. As leaders elected to represent communities across our country, we should be doing everything in our power to make our country stronger, and this attempt to end the DACA program would have done the exact opposite. I applaud the Supreme Court for making the right decision today and giving Dreamers across our country the stability that they deserve.”
