Texas Court Enjoins DACA: How Does this Affect You? ORANGE, CA, USA, July 22, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ DACA was originally created through Executive Action by former President Obama in 2012. It was put in place to provide both work authorization and protection from deportation to the hundreds of thousands of undocumented children brought to the U.S. before June 15, 2012. DACA has once again received some pushback, this time from a District Court in Texas (State of Texas, et al. v. The United States of America, et. al Civil Action Number 1:18-CV-00068, (S.D. Tex. July 16, 2021)). This isn’t the first time that DACA has been challenged.
