City Comptroller Brad Lander on Wednesday joined a group of state attorneys general from across the country in urging the Biden administration to extend deportation protections for migrants who experience or witness workplace discrimination.
The coalition sent a letter to the US Department of Homeland Security calling on the agency to extend the Deferred Action for Labor Enforcement (DALE) program from its current 2-year period to 4 years. The group is led by Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and the Seattle Office of Labor Standards, and also includes state Attorney General Letitia James.
