Megan Johnson, a member of American Families United, traveled from Wisconsin to Washington, D.C., on April 16-17 for a Capitol Hill briefing, urging the Biden administration to extend work permits to long-term immigrant members of American families and residents of U.S. communities. Megan, a U.S. citizen from Wisconsin and a member of American Families United has been married for 20 years and is a parent of two children. She said, “My husband has worked in multiple industries… I am shocked that President Biden hasn’t taken the issue of family separation of U.S. citizens seriously. He has the authority to act and provide our spouses with work permits and protection from separation.”
