Current Status of DACA
Latest news: april 25, 2018
On April 24, a federal district court judge ruled that the government would need to continue the DACA program as it was before.
However, the ruling does not go into effect immediately and it is not final. The government has 90 days to provide better reasoning for its decision to rescind DACA.
So for now, the government still has to process DACA renewal applications, but will not accept new applications or applications for Advance Parole (to travel outside the country).
Previous Court Rulings
