- Omitted context — The article gives historical and legal background but little explanation of the processing delays from the agency’s perspective.

Rep. Scott Peters convened San Diego leaders to urge the Trump administration to process DACA renewals faster, saying delays have doubled and appear politically motivated. Business and community leaders described potential harms to workers, employers and families.
Peters said current delays in processing DACA renewals appear intentional and politically motivated, and that processing times have doubled. He asked the administration how it would address the backlog and whether recipients were being detained because of the delays. Peters’ office said Dreamers contribute $968 million annually to San Diego’s economy.
San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce CEO Chris Cate said delayed renewals put workers and businesses at risk and called for a permanent bipartisan solution. Universidad Popular’s Arcela Nunez-Alvarez said delays can cost applicants work authorization, income, health coverage, education opportunities and immigration protection. The article also recounts earlier efforts to repeal DACA, legal challenges to the program and actions by Trump’s Department of Homeland Security.
