The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program is 11 years old, and some recipients are speaking out as their fate remains in limbo amid legal challenges.
A coalition of mostly Republican-led states have challenged the program, arguing in part that it imposes economic harm and that DACA being initiated by a president exceeded the White House's power.
However, Hanen allowed current recipients to continue their status while the appeals process plays out but barred new applicants from joining. At a hearing in early June, lawyers representing DACA recipients argued that the states challenging the program were not accounting for the economic contributions that hundreds of thousands of "Dreamers" have made after being able to enter the workforce, become homeowners and integrate into society. The attorneys also argued the program is lawful because of executive discretion.
The state of immigration detention underscores the stakes for those who could face deportation if DACA ends.
