DACA Update- No Changes at this stage

We are aware of the growing confusion surrounding this week’s court activity regarding briefs filed in the Texas Challenge to DACA. Nothing has changed at this stage.

What occurred this week were procedural court proposals and do not change the current status of DACA. Current DACA recipients across all states remain eligible to renew their protections and work permits while Judge Hanen considers implementation.

For more context watch our President & CEO, Gaby Pacheco's video update and read MALDEF's statement.
