MALDEF STATEMENT ON APPEALS COURT RULING ON DACA
NEW ORLEANS– A federal appeals court on Friday upheld a district judge’s ruling that parts of the Biden Administration’s 2022 DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) rule is unlawful. However, the three-judge panel allowed the DACA rule to go into effect nationwide except for Texas. The decision also left in place the lower court’s decision allowing current DACA recipients, even in Texas, to renew DACA while the case is on appeal.
