Federal · Texas v. USA court order; DACA program · Decided Jan 17, 2025
Impact 7/10
After the 2017 rescission attempt and the Texas-led Republican lawsuit, DACA survives only under court orders. Roughly 530,000 recipients can renew, but first-time applications remain blocked, the case is on remand to a district court that has twice ruled against the program, and work permits for Texas recipients may be curtailed. No path to permanent status exists.
