Rep. Correa's official House release independently corroborates that García co-led the letter to DHS and USCIS, identified the DACA renewal delays, and asked agency leaders to expedite processing.

Garcia co-led an April 9, 2026 congressional letter with Rep. Correa to DHS and USCIS urging expedited processing for DACA recipients and reduced renewal delays. The promise was to urge the agencies, not necessarily to secure a final agency policy change, so the documented letter satisfies the promised action during his current House term.
