U.S. tech companies disappointed with DACA ruling, urge Congress to act

The Hindu  

Some U.S. tech companies expressed disappointment with a ruling by a federal judge that blocked new applications to a program that protects immigrants who were brought to the United States as children from deportation. "Dreamers and immigrants make the United States — and Twitter — better", a spokesperson from social media platform Twitter said in an emailed statement. Twitter, Google, Microsoft and Photoshop maker Adobe urged the U.S. Congress to come together to protect Dreamers, with Google saying they wanted DACA to be "cemented" into law. Biden, who was vice president when Obama created the program, has said he wants to create a permanent pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients, known as "Dreamers."
