U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has issued guidance with details on how it will implement the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Key points:
Background: On June 18, the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration’s termination of the DACA program was unlawful. In response, the Department of Homeland Security issued a memorandum on July 28.
BAL Analysis: The guidance provides details regarding the agency’s implementation of the July 28 DHS memorandum, which put in place new rules while DHS considers the future of the DACA program. Meanwhile, current lawsuits challenge the July 28 memorandum’s compliance with the Supreme Court’s decision on DACA and Acting Secretary Chad Wolf’s authority to issue the memorandum. BAL will continue to monitor the litigation and the administration’s actions on DACA, and will provide more information as it becomes available.
