DACA program deemed illegal by federal judge, yet permitted to persist.

A Federal Judge Rules DACA Program Illegal, but Allows it to Continue

A federal judge, Andrew Hanen, has⁤ once again declared the Deferred Action⁢ for Childhood Arrivals ‍(DACA) program illegal. ‌However, he has⁢ decided to allow the ‍program to ‌continue, preserving deportation​ protections and work permits for its 580,000 members.

Legal Battle ⁢Expected to Reach Supreme ⁣Court

The Biden administration is‍ expected to appeal Judge Hanen’s⁢ ruling, and the case is likely to make its way to the Supreme Court. This‌ ongoing legal battle highlights ⁤the significance of the DACA ⁣program and⁣ its impact on the lives of⁣ young immigrants.

Renewals Allowed, New Applications ⁣Closed

While new ​applicants will no ⁣longer be accepted into the DACA program,⁣ current beneficiaries can still renew their work permits and deportation protections every other year. This provides a sense ‌of stability for those already benefiting ‍from the program.

DACA: Protecting Young Immigrants

DACA offers a lifeline to young undocumented immigrants, allowing them to stay in the‌ United ​States without the constant fear of deportation. To qualify, individuals must meet ‍specific criteria, ⁢such as having no criminal record, arriving in the U.S.⁤ before June‍ 2007 as minors, ⁢graduating ‌from an American high school, or serving in the military.

A⁣ Controversial Program

The DACA program has been a contentious issue, particularly among Republicans who seek to terminate it. The Trump administration attempted to end the program in 2017, but their efforts ​were ​thwarted. The ⁣ongoing debate ‍surrounding DACA ‌reflects the broader discussions ‍on immigration reform in the United States.

Biden’s⁢ Support‍ for DACA

President Biden has ⁣been ​a vocal advocate for‌ the​ DACA program, recognizing the contributions⁤ and potential of its beneficiaries. In June, he ⁤stated, “Dreamers are Americans. Many have spent the majority of their lives in the United States. They are our doctors, our teachers, and our small business​ owners. Dreamers strengthen ​our economy, enrich our workplaces, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, many served their communities on the frontlines.” The Biden administration remains committed to providing opportunities and support ‌for Dreamers ⁢to ‌succeed.
