No ruling currently, in case deciding fate of DACA.
April 2, 2021
A federal judge did not make any ruling on Tuesday over the fate of DACA, which grants limited protections on hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought into the U.S. as children. U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen set an early April deadline for lawyers on both sides to provide more information.
The case is led by Texas, which are asking the judge to invalidate DACA altogether. The State of New Jersey and two immigration advocacy groups are leading the defense for DACA, against Texas. Judge Andrew Hanen had previously ruled against Texas in 2018. He also declined to issue a preliminary injunction, yet stated that he believed DACA was unconstitutional.
