DACA Update

On September 5, 2017 the Trump administration announced the decision to wind down the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Lawsuits were filed in multiple  federal courts challenging this decision. As part of the litigation, courts issued injunctions requiring the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services to continue to process DACA renewal  applications.
