Los Angeles, CA, August 14, 2026 —
California lawmakers are intensifying efforts to address significant processing delays for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) renewals, citing a growing impact on recipients’ livelihoods and professional roles, particularly in education.
Assemblymember José Luis Solache, Jr. has introduced House Resolution 124, a measure aimed at formally urging federal agencies to expedite the processing of DACA renewal applications. The resolution highlights the critical need for timely renewals to ensure DACA recipients can maintain their employment authorization and continue contributing to their communities.
The delays have created substantial hardship for DACA recipients throughout Los Angeles and the broader state of California. These processing backlogs are directly affecting individuals’ ability to secure or maintain employment, impacting their financial stability, and consequently, the educational environment for numerous students who depend on these recipients as teachers and educators.
The continued delays risk disrupting essential services and the stability of individuals who have built lives and careers in the United States under the DACA program. The call for faster processing underscores the concerns of many about the long-term implications of these administrative slowdowns on both the recipients and the sectors they serve.
