HR 6922 United States House · 119th Congress

Texas Dreamer Work Authorization Act of 2025

This bill grants the Secretary of Homeland Security clear legal authority to issue work permits (Employment Authorization Documents) to individuals granted deferred action under the DACA program, including new applicants who previously faced restrictions in certain states like Texas. It directly affects DACA-eligible immigrants who came to the U.S. as children, ensuring they receive work authorization at the same time as their DACA approval, regardless of court rulings blocking such permits. The law amends immigration law to override judicial injunctions that have limited work authorization for new applicants in specific jurisdictions. This creates a uniform national standard for work permits, removing geographic barriers to employment for eligible DACA recipients.
