On July 16, 2021, U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen ruled that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is unlawful, blocking the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from approving new applications. The Texas federal judge sided with Texas and other states in his decision that President Barack Obama exceeded his authority when he created the program. Right now, we need the federal lawmakers to come together and create legislation to solidify DACA as the law of the land, calling on the Biden administration to follow through on promises that immigrant rights activists said were made to the undocumented community.
