A federal judge Monday issued a ruling that has given the 800,000 young dreamers a breather from the 2012 Deferred Action Consideration program, better known as DACA, whose suspension was ordered by President Donald Trump in September.
Federal District Court Judge in San Fancisco William Alsup decided that the program should continue while reviewing a series of lawsuits filed in November by the University of California, the City of San Jose, and Santa Clara County in California. Those complaints had been added to others filed by the state governments of Maryland, Minnesota and Maine, in which they asked to protect the program's beneficiaries.
"The plaintiffs have shown that they are likely to succeed in their claim that the [DACA] termination was arbitrary and capricious," Alsup said in the ruling, picked up by CNN. “The plaintiffs have established [that the suspension causes them] damages that go beyond the geographic limits of the Northern District of California. The problem affects all the states and territories of the United States, "concluded the magistrate.
The blockade issued by the judge would temporarily cancel Trump's order to end the program next March, while Congress found a new legal solution to resolve the immigration status of DACA residents, who arrived in this country without papers being minors.
The DACA program allowed thousands to remain in the country without risk of deportation, and helped many of them to access licenses to condition, education, financial aid, etc. President Barack Obama launched the DACA with an executive order in 2012 to give legal shelter to those undocumented immigrants who came to the country as minors due to Congress's refusal to approve the DREAM Act, the bill that would give them legal residence.
The judge's new provision would protect all those in the country under the Deferred Action program, better known as DREAMers, but not those who requested the provision but have never received the benefit.
The blockade does not prevent the immigration service from seeking the deportation of those individuals that it considers to be a threat to the nation.
