Fifth Circuit Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Ruling

On January 17, 2025, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the DACA program is unlawful, but it allowed current DACA holders to keep their status while the case proceeds in court. This means that if you are a current DACA recipient, you can continue to renew your status and work authorization, but USCIS will not process new applications for DACA. The Court also held that the ruling will be limited to Texas if the Fifth Circuit’s order goes into effect.

What Can DACA Recipients Do Now? Delgado Rompf Bruen Recommends:

  • Filing to renew your DACA early to extend its validity and avoid gaps in work authorization.
  • Speak with a licensed and competent immigration attorney about alternative immigration options.
  • Stay informed about changes in the law and guidance that might impact your status.
  • Consult with an immigration attorney prior to international travel even if you have a DACA advance parole document.

Delgado Rompf Bruen LLC is committed to providing current information on the changes in immigration law as they arise.
