June is ! San Francisco has been home to immigrants from across the globe for generations.

Did you know? In 1860, 50% of San Francisco’s population was made up of immigrants! Today, immigrants make up just over 34% of our city’s residents, making San Francisco one of the most linguistically and culturally diverse cities in the country!

Now more than ever, we affirm our commitment to immigrant communities making a home in San Francisco. Immigrants continue to be an integral part of the social, cultural and economic fabric of our city.

How are you celebrating Immigrant Heritage Month? Let us know in the comments below. 👇

SHARE to spread the word to DACA recipients! 📣 Wondering when to renew your DACA and what else you should consider when renewing? 👇

🗓️ DACA recipients should file a renewal at least **5 months** before their current DACA status expires. This should give USCIS enough time to process your request before your current DACA expires. Processing times for DACA renewals can change and it is important to stay connected with a qualified legal services provider to get informed on how long DACA renewals are taking and some renewals might take longer.

🚩 This could be the case where 1) there have been changes in the case, like a new arrest or conviction; 2) you are getting fee support from a legal service agency and they might need more time to process the payment; or 3) a recipient might be from a country that was listed as part of the travel ban countries, since there might be more scrutiny for these cases. A legal services provider can also help you assess any risks in your case given the rapid immigration policy changes.

📑🔍 If you have not spoken to a legal services provider in the last year, it is recommended that you get screened for other forms of relief while you renew your DACA. It is crucial to understand what other legal options you might have.

➡️ Stay informed! There will be changes to in the coming months, so stay tuned and follow us at for more guidance once that occurs.

In April 2026, Wang argued Trump v. Barbara in the Supreme Court of the U.S., challenging an executive order that would strip U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants and temporary visa holders of their birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment. Under her leadership during President Trump’s first term, the ACLU successfully challenged his Muslim ban, border wall, and family separation policies, and his effort to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census.
