Today Congresswoman Dina Titus of Nevada’s First District joined members of the Congressional Women’s Working Group on Immigration Reform, DREAMers, and mothers of DREAMers at a press conference to call on the President to take executive action to protect immigrant families from separation. 

“For over a year, House Republicans have refused to allow a vote on the bipartisan immigration reform passed by the Senate. The cost of inaction is far too steep, measured by the thousands of hardworking immigrant families who are separated each year," said Titus. "In the absence of comprehensive reform legislation, I urge the President to use his authority to extend DACA protection to DREAMers' mothers and fathers and relieve families from the constant threat of separation by deportation.”
