Biden Administration Maneuvers to Protect Dreamers
In an effort to "preserve and fortify" the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program first launched in 2012, the Biden administration has proposed a rule that would move an estimated 700,000 immigrants who came to the United States illegally as children to the back of the line to be deported.

In an effort to “preserve and fortify” the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program first launched in 2012, the Biden administration has proposed a rule that would move an estimated 700,000 immigrants who came to the United States illegally as children to the back of the line to be deported, reports Reuters.
The proposal from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security would ensure that productive young people with few ties to their home countries are not deported. DHS said in the meantime, it made sense to focus its limited resources on deporting individuals who knowingly entered the U.S. illegally. A Texas federal judge said DACA was illegally created by former President Barack Obama and blocked DHS from accepting new applications to the program. The Biden administration is appealing that decision.
