Judge Orders Biden Administration To Suspend DACA Program

1
A federal judge in Texas ruled Friday that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program ― a policy that lets undocumented immigrants who were brought into the U.S. as minors stay in the country ― is illegal and must be suspended.

In his ruling, Judge Andrew Hanen ordered President Joe Biden’s administration to stop approving new DACA requests from such immigrants, referred to as “Dreamers,” once again upending the Obama-era policy Biden had just revived in January.

President Barack Obama created DACA in June 2012, and the program has withstood multiple legal challenges and President Donald Trump’s attempt to kill it in the time since. It is open to undocumented young people who came to the U.S. before they turned 16 and were under age 31 as of June 15, 2012, when the program was created.

There are more than 616,000 current DACA recipients. While they will not be affected by the decision, many others in their same situation will ― those who are already eligible but have yet to apply, and those who are aging into the program.

DACA has been life-changing for recipients, who were newly eligible for work permits and deportation reprieve under the program. DACA recipients were able to get better jobs, start their own businesses, buy cars and houses, and more as a result of the policy, according to studies.

So the Biden Administration appeals the decision to the 5th Circuit Court and we know how that will go, then to the Conservative SCOTUS. Where the program will be killed.
