BAL Analysis: While the July ruling prevents DHS from approving any new first-time DACA grants, current DACA recipients remain able to file renewal requests and for employment authorization at this time. BAL continues to follow developments related to DACA, including in the courts and the regulatory process. For more information, please visit BAL’s DACA Resource Center here.
