USCIS Official memo

Department of Homeland Security Will Reject Initial Requests for DACA As It Weighs Future of the Program
Release Date: July 28, 2020
Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad F. Wolf announced that in response to the Supreme Court’s decision, the Department of Homeland Security will take action to thoughtfully consider the future of the DACA policy, including whether to fully rescind the program.

In the interim and to address serious concerns with the policy, the Department of Homeland Security will make the following changes to DACA immediately:

Reject all initial requests for DACA and associated applications for Employment Authorization Documents;
Reject new and pending requests for advanced parole absent exceptional circumstances; and,
Limit the period of renewed deferred action granted pursuant to the DACA policy after the issuance of this memorandum to one year.
“As the Department continues looking at the policy and considers future action, the fact remains that Congress should act on this matter,” said Acting Secretary Chad F. Wolf. “There are important policy reasons that may warrant the full rescission of the DACA policy.”

The new memorandum outlined four areas of concern:

Concern about whether, as a matter of policy, continuation of a broad, class-based deferred-action policy like DACA should be resolved by Congress;
Concern about whether any discretion to not enforce the law or afford deferred action should be exercised rarely and only on a truly individualized, case-by-case basis;
Concern that the existence of a program like DACA may send mixed messages about DHS’s intention to consistently enforce immigration laws as Congress has written them; and,
Concern that the existence of a program like DACA may encourage individuals to take a perilous journey to this country, needlessly endangering children

They cannot touch DACA until the 60 days review mark IMO, if so it means they must restore it fully.

So what if mine is currently being processed ... does that mean I’ll get 1 year renewal instead of 2

very likely you will get 2 years.

Got 2 year few days ago

Lucked out

"will take action to thoughtfully consider"

The hell?

What have you been doing for 3.5 years? lol

He doesnt have the balls to end it now since he'll definitely lose the election if he does.


Stupid ass racist admin and Republican Party. Damn any and all of you who have ever shown support or made excuses for them. This would not be happening if a Dem was in the WH.

I don't know about that. He basically kicked DACA in the nuts by doing 1 year instead of 2 years, plus rejecting all new DACA & AP (defying SC ruling). He didn't kill DACA (yet). Doing this means he's not interested in appealing to the latino voters. I don't think latinos will be like "well, he didn't kill it, he only kicked it in the nuts so that seems good to me."

Directly and openly defying the SC is like defying the will of the constitution. If any politician did this before 2017, they would be impeached, and that call to impeach would be led by conservatives. It's crazy how much a party can change in 3 years.

This is important folks. They are are saying the new limited 1 yr period of benefits will be issued starting TODAY. Keep an eye out in case you have a pending renewal.

Tell you family to register to vote and vote this November.

Fuck Republicans and Conservatives

It's like they are trying to hit all the talking points Trump used for his election in 2016. If this is their strategy for his re-election, it simply won't work. His polling numbers are falling not because he is not talking about those topics or taking enough action on those. It is because of his failed responses to the pandemic and his lack of strategies. It is his responses to racial injustice.

Anyway, it looks like he will end up ending the program before he leaves the White House.

Trump Administration's Motto = "We are here to ruin everyone's life to fulfill our ideals!"
