On Friday August 3, 2018 a federal Judge in Washington D.C. ordered the Trump Administration to reinstate the DACA program in its entirety. This means accepting new applications and hopefully also restoring the availability of Advance Parole (a special type of travel permit).
So can we file initial DACA’s when we get back to work on August 6, 2018? Not so fast. The federal Judge allowed the Trump Administration 20 days to file an appeal. I suppose we will see what President Trump decides to do with DACA.
Stay tuned!
