WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday evening, Judge Andrew Hanen of the Southern District of Texas ruled against the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in Texas v. United States. As this court case goes through appeals, current DACA recipients are still protected—with their status and ability to work still intact—and can continue to renew their DACA.

Washington, D.C. – On April 27, the Department of Homeland Security and Department of State announced a series of regional and border actions in the lead up to Title 42 lifting on May 11. While these plans increase migration pathways and establish new regional processing centers, they also confirm the Biden Administration’s intent to institute an asylum ban, expand the use of expedited removal, ramp up holding capacity and deportations, and implement other measures that block families from reuniting and finding safety.
