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.
Delgado Rompf Bruen LLC is committed to providing current information on the changes in immigration law as they arise. We strongly recommend DACA recipients continue to renew their status and work authorization, and we are happy to assist you with that process. We also welcome consultation appointments with DACA holders interested in determining if there are any other statuses for which they are eligible.
