Just before President Trump's inauguration, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals delivered a ruling on DACA, affirming its unlawfulness while limiting the effects of a lower court's nationwide ruling to Texas. This has left many DACA supporters in a state of uncertainty regarding the program's future. Although Texas claims significant costs associated with DACA recipients, for now, existing DACA recipients can continue to benefit from the program, as no changes are to be implemented until further court action is taken. The decision reiterates the split between deferred deportations and work authorizations for DACA recipients.
"At this point, nothing has changed," Miriam Feldblum, a DACA supporter, explained the current state of the program in light of the recent court ruling.
The decision raised questions about DACA's future, with advocates expressing a mix of hope and confusion about the implications of the Fifth Circuit's ruling.
