U.S. District Judge John D. Bates ruled that the Trump administration must keep processing renewals for people already participating in DACA, as it is currently doing under other court rulings on the program. But Bates put on hold a portion of his ruling also requiring the administration to process new applications.
Illegal immigrants who were brought over as children, known as “Dreamers,” can renew their DACA applications, but no new requests will be processed.
The DACA program allows immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children to stay and work legally under renewable permits.
