Philanthropic crowdfunding giant GoFundMe has launched a central hub for donors to support Dreamers. The effort is designed to help pay for the cost of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) renewals, which must happen every two years and cost $495 per person in application fees.

The program grants a stay of deportation to the children of immigrants who came to the United States when they were under 16. But the program, which exists via an executive order issued during the Obama administration, has been under fire from President Trump, who in September 2017 instigated a plan to dismantle it and deport everyone.

Trump’s deportation order was scheduled to take effect in March but has been delayed by a series of lawsuits involving the states of California (and University of California), Maine, Maryland, and Minnesota. At the same time, an initial verdict by a U.S. District judge in California mandated that the government continue allowing DACA participants to apply for renewals, although no new applicants are currently accepted. That decision will likely be appealed at the Supreme Court, but it would be at least several more months before the case could be heard.
