In Chicago, some DACA holders frustrated by renewal delays
According to this article on Chicago Sun Times, by Elvia Malagón
“During this past summer, Ana Estrada kept going online to check the status of her renewal application for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
It was the fifth time she was renewing her DACA status, which allows her to lawfully work in the country, but this time she worried about delays related to the coronavirus pandemic.
“It was frustrating logging in every day and seeing my case just stuck in the same place,” she said. “They weren’t touching it at all.”
Then for eight days in August, her status expired before her application was eventually approved Aug. 24, Estrada said.
The lapse led to her termination at her warehouse job, she said. Weeks later, she got her job back but as a new hire.
That meant she lost the vacation time she had earned for this year and the free health insurance she got because of how long she’d worked for the company, she said.”
