VLF Public Interest Fellow Jacqueline Dan mentioned in an article on reactions to the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling on President Barack Obama’s immigration plan:
“…Others, including Asian Americans Advancing Justice, will focus additional attention on comprehensive immigration information programs and determining whether individuals might qualify for other types of deportation relief, said attorney Jacqueline Dan.

There are more than 400,000 Asian immigrants nationally, the organization reports, among the nearly 5 million who would have qualified for the expanded DACA program and the newer so-called DAPA program, or Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents.”
