Federal appeals court rules Obama-era DACA program illegal, buts says 600,000 already in US can stay
Fox News
A federal court of appeals ruled the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program was illegal but didn't cut its protection for more than 600,000 Dreamers.
A three judge panel from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also ruled that while the Obama administration lacked the authority to create the immigration policy which affects over 600,000 people, it didn't dismantle the program, and people can continue benefiting from the policy.

The panel ruled that the U.S. government cannot process new applicants for individuals seeking DACA benefits.
