Since the Trump administration attempted to end DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), the program has been repeatedly challenged in court. For example, this past January, a federal judge partially blocked the administration’s effort to sunset the program and allowed the 700,000 young people who had received temporary protection from deportation to renew their DACA status — but did not allow other young immigrants who may have been eligible to apply.

On August 4, a Washington DC District Court Judge ruled that the Trump administration must fully reinstate the DACA program on August 23, which would include accepting new applications. However, a Texas judge — an immigration hawk — is set to hear a case arguing that DACA should be terminated. If he moves to terminate the program, the Trump administration might find itself under two contradictory orders from two different judges at the same time.

Needless to say, there is a lot of uncertainty around DACA right now. However, it is important to note that today, you may still be eligible to renew your DACA if you haven’t already.

It’s more important now than ever to consult with a qualified immigration legal services provider to see what your options are. The organizations in the list below can help you or someone you know get trusted, certified immigration legal services.
