Biden calls DACA ruling 'deeply disappointing,' urges Congress to pass citizenship path
Fox News
President Biden on Saturday called a federal court ruling that put a halt to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program "deeply disappointing" and again urged Congress to pass legislation that would grant illegal immigrants protected from deportation under the program a pathway to citizenship.
Judge Andrew Hanen, a Texas judge, on Friday ordered the Biden administration to stop all applications for DACA, ruling that the Obama-era program was illegal. DACA was established under the Obama administration in 2012 and granted protection from deportation and work permits to illegal immigrants who came to the country as minors. Approximately 700,000 are estimated to have been granted protection under the program, and hundreds of thousands more are deemed eligible.More Related News
