Geographical Limitation of Injunction: While the appeals court upheld a nationwide injunction against new applicants for DACA, it limited this injunction’s application to Texas only. This means that while new applications cannot be processed in Texas, other states may still have different interpretations or implementations regarding DACA.

Stay for Current Recipients: The court’s decision also noted that current DACA recipients—those enrolled before the district court’s order—would remain protected under a stay provision. This means they can continue to renew their status and work authorization until further legal developments occur.

Overall, I believe that this ruling is more favorable to us compared to other possible outcomes. I also think that the Supreme Court may be sympathetic to our case.
