The Supreme Court may rescind DACA. Hopkins must reaffirm its support for Dreamers in our community
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter editorial article covers the possible end of DACA and the paper’s call for Hopkins to reaffirm support for undocumented students.
- The News-Letter reported that the Supreme Court appeared ready to support ending DACA and planned to decide by June 2020; the article says Dreamers could face immediate deportation.
- The paper reported that Hopkins students joined nationwide walkouts on Nov. 8 to protest a possible repeal of DACA.
- The article says the SGA passed a December 2016 resolution calling for Hopkins to become a “sanctuary campus” with protections for undocumented affiliates.
- The reporter writes that President Ronald J. Daniels and Provost Sunil Kumar said in a 2017 email that Hopkins would provide Dreamers with emergency financial and legal aid.
- The article adds that Hopkins identified as a sanctuary campus, offered need-blind admission, and that the SGA expressed support for DACA in 2017.
- The News-Letter reported that Hopkins later decided not to renew its ICE contracts, citing administrative delays and resource reallocation, rather than student activists’ demands.
