DOJ To Appeal DACA Court Decision


President Biden said the U,S. Department of Justice (DOJ) intends on Appealing, a new Court Decision, that Halts New Applications, for an Obama-era Program, aimed at Protecting Young Immigrants from Deportation.

DACA is Open to Undocumented Young Ppeople, who came to the U.S. before they turned 16, and were under the age of 31, as of June 15th, 2012, when the Program was Created.

Texas Federal Judge, Andrew Hanen, on Friday, deemed Illegal the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program. The Program Stops Deportation of Immigrants, who were brought to the U.S. Unlawfully as Children, known as “Dreamers”.

“Yesterday’s federal court ruling is deeply disappointing. While the court’s order does not now affect current DACA recipients, this decision nonetheless relegates hundreds of thousands of young immigrants to an uncertain future,” the President’s Statement said.

“The Department of Justice intends to appeal this decision in order to preserve and fortify DACA. And, as the court recognized, the Department of Homeland Security plans to issue a proposed rule concerning DACA in the near future.”

DACA has come under fire from Conservatives since its Creation in 2012. Texas in 2018 Requested to Halt the Program through a Preliminary Injunction.

While Hanen Denied this Request, his Ruling then appears to have Presaged. Hanen stated that he believed DACA, as Instituted, was probably Unconstitutional without Congress’s Approval.

Hanen also decided in 2015 that Barack Obama could Not Broaden DACA Protections or Implement a Program that Protected Dreamers’ Parents.

In September 2017, the Trump Administration announced that it Planned to End DACA, throwing Recipients into Turmoil.

Following extensive Legal Battles, the U..S Supreme Court Blocked Trump’s efforts.

Biden has Pushed for DACA to become Permanent, and Vowed on the Campaign Trail that he would make the Program Permanent.

While the U..S House green-lit Legislation in March, that created a Path toward Citizenship for Dreamers, the Measure has languished in the Senate.

“In 2012, the Obama-Biden administration created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy, which has allowed hundreds of thousands of young immigrants to remain in the United States, to live, study and work in our communities. Nine years later, Congress has not acted to provide a path to citizenship for Dreamers,” Biden’s Statement also said.

“It is my fervent hope that through reconciliation or other means, Congress will finally provide security to all Dreamers, who have lived too long in fear,” Biden said.
