The Department of Justice to appeal DACA court decision.
July 22, 2021
President Biden has said that the Department of Justice is planning on appealing a recent court decision that has halted DACA and deemed it illegal. The ruling bars the government from approving any new applications, therefore, effectively suspending the program. For now, DACA is preserved for the more than 616,000 people enrolled in the program until other courts weigh in. Biden said that the court ruling “is deeply disappointing” and that the Department of Homeland Security plans to issue a proposed rule concerning DACA in the near future.
