The Justice Department announced on Tuesday it is
ending DACA, the Obama-era program that allowed undocumented immigrants who
came to the U.S. as children to remain in the country, while also giving
Congress a six-month window to possibly save the policy.
For those whose permits are set to expire
before March 5, 2018, though, the U.S. government will also allow them to renew
their DACA status — provided their applications are received before Oct. 5,
2017. Currently, there are about 201,000 young adults whose authorizations are
set to expire this year, officials at the Department of Homeland Security
explained Tuesday.
Otherwise, beginning today, the U.S. government isn’t going to
consider any new DACA applications, leaving still hundreds of thousands of its
beneficiaries, known as Dreamers, in legal limbo.
On one hand, the delay on enforcement gives Congress some time to
decide whether to preserve the program by writing a law. Absent that, though,
these Dreamers would be at risk for deportation — even as government officials
stressed Tuesday they are not going to target these young adults in the future.
