A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Friday to restore the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which provides protection from deportation to many undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children.
A federal judge in New York ordered the Department of Homeland Security to post publicly on its website within three days that it is accepting new applicants and renewals to the DACA program.
President Donald Trump moved to end the DACA program in 2017, and it has been caught up in legal challenges ever since. This summer, the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration had wrongly ended the program, leaving it in place and keeping protections for existing Dreamers. Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf later restricted the program to only those already enrolled, disallowing new applicants.
