Release Date:
December 7, 2020
On November 14, 2020, Judge Nicholas George Garaufis of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York issued an opinion regarding the July 28, 2020 memorandum signed by Acting Secretary Chad F. Wolf. On December 4, 2020, Judge Garaufis required the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to take certain actions to implement his November 14 opinion. As a result, effective December 7, 2020, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is:

Accepting first-time requests for consideration of deferred action under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) based on the terms of the DACA policy in effect prior to September 5, 2017, and in accordance with the Court’s December 4, 2020, order;

Accepting DACA renewal requests based on the terms of the DACA policy in effect prior to September 5, 2017, and in accordance with the Court’s December 4, 2020, order;

Accepting applications for advance parole documents based on the terms of the DACA policy prior to September 5, 2017, and in accordance with the Court’s December 4, 2020, order;

Extending one-year grants of deferred action under DACA to two years; and

Extending one-year employment authorization documents under DACA to two years.

USCIS will take appropriate steps to provide evidence of the one-year extensions of deferred action and employment authorization documents under DACA to individuals who were issued documentation on or after July 28, 2020, with a one-year validity period under the Wolf Memorandum.

DHS will comply with Judge Garaufis’ order while it remains in effect, but DHS may seek relief from the order.

For more information, please visit USCIS.gov.

They still need to update it on uscis.gov so no one is confused. But it's a start.

I personally think this is not the best scenario given a Biden victory. Now with DACA fully restored, there’s probably no pressure for a legislative “fix”. Sure we go back to Obama era immigration policies but when the next election comes around and we’ve been in the program for 12(!) years we’ll be stressed again.

It’s exhausting.

Relax. Pressure won't make congress do shit. Not with the Turle leading the brigade of hate.

What’s going to happen when Hanen’s lawsuit ends up before SCOTUS. Does anyone anticipate a 5-4 split to defend daca?

In the same boat any suggestions, or any post about filling out an advance parole application. I do have a very sick grandfather in Mexico that I would want to help out in any way possible..
