Uncertainty looms over DACA program as legal challenges persist.

Hundreds of thousands of DACA-eligible people have been shut out of the program due to legal challenges from the Trump administration and Republican-led states seeking to fully end it. Since then, an estimated 400,000 people who would have been eligible to apply for the first time haven’t had access to the program. The fate of the program remains up in the air as a six-year court battle plays out. The federal judge who heard the arguments in Texas is expected to issue a decision about the legality of the Biden rule this year.
