Congressman Jimmy Panetta (CA-20) released the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to expedite the Trump Administration's challenge to a lower court ruling blocking implementation of the Trump decision to end DACA:

"Today's Supreme Court ruling is positive news for Dreamers, but it is not the permanent protection that we need. The Court's rejection requires the Trump Administration to accept renewal applications, but excludes new ones, leaving many young people eligible for DACA without recourse. Nevertheless, the Majority should allow proper debate and votes on any bipartisan proposals that allow these young men and women to continue to contribute to our community and country."
