DACA Attacked (Again)

Written By Camille Mackler

 Late in the day on July 16th, Judge Hanen of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas issued a decision in the State of Texas’ lawsuit challenging the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The Court found that the DACA program in its entirely was unlawful, but allowed it to continue for current DACA recipients, pending further appeals. He halted DHS’ ability to accept and accept new DACA applications.

This means that:

  • Current DACA holders (and those who’s DACA applications expired within the last year) still have DACA and can continue to renew.

  • No new applications will be adjudicated or approved. This includes applications for individuals who previously had DACA but had it expire over a year ago.
