Bill Summary
A BILL To grant the Secretary of Homeland Security express statutory authority to issue Employment Authorization Documents to individuals granted deferred action under the DACA policy, thereby superseding any judicial interpretation or injunction that restricts such authorization.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Texas Dreamer Work Authorization Act of 2025," aims to provide clear legal authority for the Secretary of Homeland Security to issue work permits, known as Employment Authorization Documents (EADs), to individuals who have been granted deferred action under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy. DACA is a program established in 2012 that allows certain individuals who were brought to the United States as children to avoid deportation and obtain work authorization. The bill's purpose is to ensure that all eligible DACA applicants, including new applicants and those in jurisdictions like Texas that have faced legal challenges to DACA, receive work authorization uniformly and without interruption, overriding any existing court orders or interpretations that might restrict this process.
