Rep. Luis Gutiérrez, Sept. 18, 2017 -
"Reps. Luis Gutiérrez [D-IL] and Mike Coffman [R-CO] sent a letter today to the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requesting a series of important technical fixes to the process for winding down the DACA program. The requests from Reps. Coffman and Gutiérrez are intended to ensure DACA participants are treated fairly, in a transparent manner, and that no one is unduly penalized by the timing of when their current authorization expires.
"These young people, who came out of the shadows to sign up for DACA, did the right thing and the technical fixes that we are proposing will help them as the program winds down," said Coffman.

Gutiérrez (D-IL), who is a member of the Judiciary Committee and the Chair of the Immigration Task Force of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
The fixes suggested by Gutiérrez and Coffman are as follows:
