There have been several developments related to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in recent days, including a House bill that passed out of committee and a second appeals court ruling against the Trump administration’s method of terminating the program.
Key developments:
BAL Analysis: The Dream Act shows promising signs of a legislative solution for Dreamers, but the bill is likely to face opposition in the Senate, in part because it does not contain new immigration enforcement provisions. The current status of DACA remains unchanged. The Department of Homeland Security continues to accept renewal applications from DACA recipients in accordance with the 9th Circuit’s injunction, but it is not required to accept new DACA applications.
