DACA Applicant Guidelines
|
Another federal judge ruled that Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) protections must stay in place and that the government must resume accepting new applications. Judge John D. Bates of Federal District Court for the District of Columbia said that the administration's decision to terminate the program, DACA, was based on the "virtually unexplained" grounds that the program was "unlawful." The judge stayed his decision for 90 days and gave the Department of Homeland Security, which administers the program, the opportunity to better explain its reasoning for canceling it. If the department fails to do so, it "must accept and process new as well as renewal DACA applications."
