A U.S. judge on Wednesday ruled against a program offering deportation relief and work permits to immigrants brought to the country illegally as children, known as 'Dreamers,' even after an attempt by President Joe Biden's administration to bolster the program's standing with a new regulation.
A group from Texas that is part of the more than 200 “Dreamers,” their families and supporters from around the U.S., who traveled to Washington to lobby lawmakers to provide citizenship to “Dreamer” immigrants who entered the United States illegally or overstayed a visa as children, on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S. December 13, 2022.WASHINGTON, Sept 13 - A U.S.
Hanen, a Republican-appointed judge, found a regulation issued last year by Biden's Democratic administration did not remedy legal deficiencies that led him toin 2021 and blocked new enrollments to the program, which has been in place for more than a decade. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security can continue to renew the status of those enrolled in the program prior to Hanen's 2021 ruling, he said. Many DACA recipients speak English and have jobs, homes and families in the United States.
The White House and the office of Texas Governor Greg Abbott did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
