Today, U.S. Congresswoman Andrea Salinas (OR-06) led 15 of her colleagues in a letter to the Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Joseph Edlow, to request answers about why the Trump Administration is failing to process Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program renewals in a timely manner — putting DACA recipients at risk of deportation.

Salinas took concrete action on immigrant certainty by pressing USCIS on slow DACA renewals and rising fees, but this is an oversight request rather than a completed policy change.

ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons confirmed that, "ICE is not currently planning to expand current detention facilities or open any new long or short-term detention facilities in Oregon." The release says Salinas and Merkley had led an inquiry opposing any plans to open or expand ICE detention facilities in Oregon and requesting details about soft-sided facilities.

Salinas secured a written federal response on Oregon detention plans, showing active border/immigration oversight, but not a durable policy win or statutory change.
