Seeking to protect “a unique group of young immigrants who have placed their trust in both you as their president and us as their lawmakers,” a group of House Democrats on Wednesday beseeched outgoing President Barack Obama to pardon so-called “Dreamers” before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

Sixty Democratic lawmakers signed the letter, which was spearheaded by U.S. Reps. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), Luis V. Gutiérrez (D-Ill.), and Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.).

According to a statement from Lofgren’s office:

“We believe that this action is critical, although it does not create legal status, because for many Dreamers it could clear a path to a legal status that already exists under current law,” the letter reads. “Providing protection and stability for immigrants is a shared goal, especially at a time when fear and uncertainty in our communities is at an all-time high.”

The pardon could apply to as many as 750,000 young people who have come forward to register under the DACA initiative—one of many of Obama’s executive orders that Trump has threatened to undo. Another effort to protect Dreamers, the Sanctuary Campus movement, has been picking up steam since its launch last month.

As Politico wrote on Tuesday, shuttering DACA could mean that “hundreds of thousands of young people who’ve spent most of their lives in the U.S. could be thrown out of work, with some losing the ability to pay for school.”

Also Wednesday, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel delivered a separate letter signed by 14 mayors from across the country asking Trump to protect Dreamers by keeping DACA in place.
