A policy designed to shield hundreds of thousands of immigrants from deportation has again been declared illegal by a federal court judge. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, was created by Pres. Barack Obama in 2012 and has been under legal fire for years. A judge ruled the policy illegal because it circumvents immigration law set by Congress.
At this time, the ruling does not impact current DACA recipients. However, those with pending applications are now in a state of limbo with no clear resolution.
“This morning we’ve been asked so many questions about timelines, when do we expect this to happen and there’s really no clear, definite answer,” said Espinosa. USCIS states those under the age of 31 as of June 15th, 2012 could still apply for DACA and Candler said many waited to apply as adults because of bad legal advice, fear, or in the case of one client, did not know they were in the country illegally.
