Statements of Support
"The Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges, along with presidents and trustees of the state’s 34 community and technical colleges, today released the following joint statement regarding an October 5, 2022 decision by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The court upheld a lower court’s ruling that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is unlawful. The court also ruled current DACA enrollees could renew their status and sent the case back to a lower court to consider a regulation enacted by the Biden administration to strengthen the DACA program against legal challenges."
