Biden's invitation was a show of solidarity with the Deferred Action Legal Childhood Arrivals children who are facing extradition from the US.
In a show of solidarity with the Deferred Action Legal Childhood Arrivals (DALCA) children who are facing extradition from the US, President Joe Biden has invited three young Indian Americans to his Diwali reception.
DALCA children are those who have aged out of their parent's visa or legal status and face extradition. There are over 200,000 such children in the US, majority of whom are Indian Americans.
Thanking Biden for the gesture, the three young Indian Americans said they were "delighted to join" the President and Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House.
“We were honoured to be with the President and Vice President among many Indian American leaders for this Diwali celebration. We hope that light will come for all of us by the end of the year through a solution to end aging-out for all children of long-term visa holders,” said Dip Patel.
