Although the new court order does not mention the reactivation of Advance
Parole, which was arbitrarily suspended by USCIS, the CMSC continues to
advocate for DACA recipients such as Mayra Garibo and Luis Tinoco who
have extreme humanitarian cases in which the basic human right of family
unification in times of sickness and death is being overlooked.
A musket from the 18th century, when the Second Amendment was written,
and an assault rifle of today. Rarely in my lifetime have I seen the type of
civic engagement schoolchildren and their supporters demonstrated in
Washington and other major cities throughout the country this past

For over 200 years after the adoption of the Second Amendment, it was

Brown, an assistant minister at St. Mark's African Methodist Episcopal
Church - to meet with the NAACP.
He "felt that it was wrong for his child to have to go so far a distance to
receive a quality education," Ms. Brown said in "Eyes on the Prize."
Ms. Brown, a third-grader at the time, went on to become the symbolic
center of Brown v. Board of Education, the transformational 1954 Supreme
Court decision that bore her father's name and helped dismantle racial
segregation in the United States. Read More
