Federal Judge Rules DACA is illegal

In a slap in the face to hundreds of thousands of immigrants, a federal judge in Houston ruled July 16 that President Barack Obama had no authority to establish the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. This ruling bars the government from approving any new applications.
Judge Andrew Hanen, appointed by George W. Bush in 2002, ruled in favor of Texas and eight other conservative states that sued to halt DACA, which currently provides limited protections to about 650,000 Dreamers (DACA participants). Fortunately, those Dreamers will not be affected but will have to continue to annually renew their status.

Vice President Kamala Harris met with DACA recipients and immigration advocates days after a Texas federal judge ruled the DACA program “unlawful,” blocking new applicants and putting applicants who have been in process for months in limbo. While Harris urges Congress to pass pathways to citizenship through reconciliation or other means, the Obama-era program could face even more legal challenges in the meantime. MSNBC’s Alicia Menendez is joined by two people who were at that meeting with Harris, Sergio Gonzales, Executive Director of Immigration Hub and Greisa Martinez Rosas, Executive Director of United We Dream Action, to discuss what Congress must do to pass permanent protections for Dreamers.July 26, 2021
