DACA & Dreamers

DACA remains highly dependent on litigation, court orders, and administrative posture rather than one stable rule set.

2026

Court-driven uncertainty continues

DACA policy still depends heavily on litigation outcomes, which means long-term certainty remains limited even when renewals continue.

Renewal planning remains critical

Because of policy volatility, eligible recipients need earlier renewal preparation and stronger documentation continuity.

An Oregon Law Lets One Wealthy Region Turn the Desert Green. When Drought Hits, Farmers Pay the Price.

These highlights were written by the reporters and editors who worked on this story. Chris Casad awakens each day before dawn on the Central Oregon property he bought nine years ago, the farm where he once grew tons of potatoes before water shortages forced him to fallow fields and take a job feeding someone else’s cattle on someone else’s land. At 38, he’s got tractors older than he is. His two kids are under 5. His wife, Cate, has two jobs. They’re staring down a pile of debt from their 85 acres and its unending supply of things in the process of breaking. The crisis for their farm started in drought — three summers during which starving grasshoppers descended on the area’s remaining crops, tepid reservoirs bloomed with toxic algae, nearly 1,000 Oregon wells went dry and the springs feeding the Deschutes River shriveled to their lowest recorded flow. But the death knell for Casad’s crops was Oregon’s century-old law, which protects some water users at the expense of others. The couple saw the state cut their community’s share of irrigation water from the Deschutes in the name of that law. Farmers in Jefferson County, where they live, stopped cultivating a third of the county’s irrigated land. “There were a number of suicides, let alone people who closed up shop, older farmers just not wanting to waste their life’s worth of work and their savings on just trying to keep it going,” Casad said.

Now she’s worth $200 million. But Sarah Jessica Parker says being ‘one of eight kids that struggled financially’ growing up created her work ethic

Today, Sarah Jessica Parker has around a $200 million net worth, too many Manolo Blahniks to count, and a mega-mansion in Manhattan’s West Village. But before becoming Carrie Bradshaw and earning more than $1 million per episode of And Just Like That , the star says her family couldn’t always afford electricity or to celebrate Christmas. Now, she’s telling graduates that growing up in poverty motivated her to build the life she has today. “I am one of eight kids that struggled financially,” Parker recently said in a commencement speech to Northwestern University students. “For the most part, as children, we had what we needed, but we rarely had the things that we wanted, and I consider that a great gift because it created in me a hunger, a focused ambition, and a work ethic that’s sort of a point of operation and pride for me.” Essentially, pining for things she couldn’t afford meant she had things to work towards. And that’s the message she wanted to leave with the next generation entering the workforce: don’t lose your appetite for bigger ambitions. “Despite the successes you are sure to achieve, material or otherwise, never stop wanting,” she said, while warning that the alternative is “resignation to complacency and inertia.” No matter where you’re starting from, Parker stressed that no dream is too big. “I wholeheartedly disagree with the definition of dreamer as one who lives in fantasy as impractical or unrealistic,” she added. “To dream is to have vision.” As the poet Norman Vincent Peale famously said: “Shoot for the Moon. Even if you miss, you’ll lang among the stars.” She began working at eight years old, playing the lead in an NBC TV after-school special, The Little Match Girl , for $500—and later spent years taking roles she didn’t love to pay the bills. But the 61-year-old said the experience didn’t kill her Hollywood dreams. “I’ve had many of those detours in my own life that you might be able to name: bad movies, bad television shows, that I did to pay the rent or to eat, but I challenged myself not to let those less-than-inspiring deviations erode my greater goals,” she said to the class of 2026. Parker’s not just preaching to students. The actress and her husband, Matthew Broderick, have previously insisted they’re raising their three children to “understand what it means to earn money,” including dressing her son in hand-me-downs. “Their needs are met… They’re warm in the winter and cool in the summer, but they should pine for things,” the “Sex and the City” star told iHeartRadio in 2023. “And they should also, I think, be interested in how do they contribute to the things at a certain point.” Parker’s not the first to tell students that overcoming adversity is the ultimate rite of passage for successful people. In fact, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told Stanford graduates that not having enough of it could even hold them back. “People with very high expectations have very low resilience—and unfortunately, resilience matters in success,” Huang said during an interview with the Stanford Graduate School of Business . “One of my great advantages is that I have very low expectations.” The tech genius—who with a net worth of $180 billion is one of the world’s wealthiest people—was born in Taiwan in 1963 and spent the bulk of his early life in Thailand, before moving to the U.S. at 9 years old. Bullies even tried to toss him off the bridge, but he reframes his tough experiences growing up as “opportunities for setbacks and suffering”—setting him up for the CEO job today. “I don’t know how to do it [but] for all of you Stanford students, I wish upon you ample doses of pain and suffering,” Huang added. “Greatness comes from character and character isn’t formed out of smart people—it’s formed out of people who suffered.”

MALDEF SUES NORTH CAROLINA FINANCIAL INSTITUTION AND TULSA DEALERSHIP FOR DISCRIMINATORY LENDING PRACTICES

Jun 22, 2026 | Court Cases Immigrants' Rights , DACA , News Releases LOS ANGELES — A Latino civil rights organization filed a lawsuit Thursday against a North Carolina financial institution and a Tulsa, Oklahoma motorcycle dealership for unlawfully denying a loan to a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient on the basis of his immigration status. MALDEF (Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund) filed suit in federal court on behalf of Oscar Guillén Arauz, a DACA recipient, challenging the lending practices of Sheffield Financial, a subsidiary of Truist Financial Corporation, and Matt’s ATV & Offroad. The lawsuit alleges that Sheffield Financial and Matt’s ATV & Offroad unlawfully denied Guillén Arauz credit because the companies require applicants to be either U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, in violation of federal civil rights law. “Whether or not the current presidential administration invites discrimination against immigrants, businesses of all kinds need to understand that such discrimination is likely unlawful under longstanding and continuing legal constraints,” said Thomas A. Although Guillén Arauz had a credit score of 772, he received an adverse action notice stating the denial was due to the financer being “unable to verify your identity,” while also indicating he could be reconsidered with “acceptable proof of identity.” Following the denial, Guillén Arauz was informed by a dealership representative that Sheffield Financial only approves loans for U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Guillén Arauz, who has been in the DACA program since 2017, was not offered any loan terms and was forced to seek alternative financing on an emergency basis to complete the purchase. “By denying his motorcycle loan application, the defendants effectively denied the plaintiff’s only means of transportation for work and life,” said Luis Lozada, MALDEF staff attorney. “There is no reason for the defendants to have denied the loan in a modest sum when the plaintiff is a college graduate with good credit history.” Guillén Arauz, who was born in Honduras and brought to the United States as a child, is a college graduate employed in Oklahoma. He has since filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regarding the denial and later learned the lender had no record of his application, despite issuing the adverse action notice. The lawsuit seeks declaratory relief, damages, and class certification for all people who were denied credit based on citizenship or immigration status. “My mother sacrificed everything to bring me to this country almost 24 years ago so we could build a better life,” said Guillén Arauz. “As a DACA recipient, I have worked tirelessly to give back to the community that welcomed us. Yet, despite my financial background and deep commitment to this community, Sheffield Financial denied me the same opportunities available to others simply because of my immigration status. This lawsuit is not just about me; it’s about demanding that financial institutions stop using discriminatory practices that undermine the hard work of immigrant families who are vital to the fabric of our economy.” Sheffield Financial specializes in financing for consumer recreational vehicles and commercial equipment. This is the 25th lawsuit filed by MALDEF since 2017 that challenges the policies of financial and other consumer institutions that discriminate against DACA recipients and other immigrants.

Quote of the day by Alicia Keys: ‘Failure isn’t an option’

Alicia Keys’ quote, “Failure isn’t an option. I’ve erased the word ‘fear’ from my vocabulary, and I think when you erase fear, you can’t fail,” is a powerful reminder that fear often limits people before failure ever does. The line does not mean that life will always go perfectly. It means that when fear no longer controls your choices, setbacks lose their power to define you. For students, professionals, artists, dreamers and anyone standing before a difficult challenge, Keys’ words offer a lesson in courage, belief and inner strength. “Failure isn’t an option. They do not apply because they fear rejection. People fear failure, judgment, comparison, instability , rejection, public mistakes and being left behind. Companies: Comprehensive news and analysis on listed and unlisted companies, corporate announcements, corporate chatter, C-suite, business trends, hiring alerts, layoffs, work-life balance, world's top billionaires and richest and more. 2.

Bipartisan changes expected to kids’ internet safety bill

Bipartisan kids’ internet safety legislation is one step closer to reality as key House members announced an agreement including privacy and data broker provisions. House Energy and Commerce Chair Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., and ranking member Frank Pallone Jr., D-N.J., said Monday they’d come to a deal on legislation that advanced out of the committee in March. While revised text for the bill was not available, a source close to the talks said the amended legislation would incorporate data privacy protections for children and use preemption to create a floor for state laws, responding to Democratic concerns. In a joint statement, Guthrie and Pallone said they “have now found common ground on policies to significantly improve the digital environment for kids.” “Through empowering parents, establishing safety as a default, strengthening privacy for children and teens, increasing transparency around data brokers, and holding Big Tech accountable, the KIDS Act delivers the 21st century protections parents have demanded and our kids deserve.” The bill known as the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act moved out of committee with only Republican support, after lawmakers combined 12 measures to create the online safety package. As advanced by the committee, the bill would set new requirements for parental controls and require certain online platforms to put policies in place to address harms to kids online. It has sections to address direct and ephemeral messaging services, online gaming and artificial intelligence chatbots. That comes after the committee deferred action on a stand-alone children’s data privacy bill led by House Republicans in March, in the wake of the Senate approving its own version of the bill, known as COPPA 2.0, to update the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. The House and Senate bills differ in the standards they would set. The Senate bill would revise the original requirement that companies have “actual knowledge” that a user is a child before they’re required to get parental consent for disclosing the user’s data. The committee said the bill would still include portions of the original 12 measures combined to create the legislation.
