The White House on Tuesday blocked tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants and DACA recipients from getting billions of dollars in aid earmarked for college students affected by COVID-19.
It's difficult to know just how many people are affected by the Trump administration decision since exact figures are not kept on undocumented immigrants attending U.S. colleges. But recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals alone are estimated to be nearly 700,000, making it likely that scores of students in the DACA ranks will be affected.
“I am not surprised to have been left out of this because we have been left out of so many things already,” she said. That roll out hasn't been smooth, and most students still haven't seen that aid. Many universities told USA Today Network reporters earlier this month they needed additional guidance from the Department before they started giving out that money.
Miller said he also feared the additional regulations would result in universities creating more complicated application processes to ensure they comply with the rules. That could prolong the process of distributing that money. A familiar feeling for students:Later this year, the Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision on the future of the DACA program and the nearly 700,000 who rely on it to avoid temporary deportation and to be able to work in the country.
