\nU.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen ruled that a revised version of the program, which prevents the deportation of thousands of migrants brought illegally into the U.S. as children, also does not pass legal or constitutional muster more than a decade after then-President Barack Obama implemented the program via executive order after repeatedly claiming he had no authority as president to do so.<\/p>\n
\u201cHanen said in his decision Wednesday that on July 16, 2021, the court vacated the DACA program created by the 2012 DACA Memorandum, which prohibited the U.S., its departments, agencies, officers, agents and employees from granting new DACA applications and administering the program,\u201d Fox News reported.<\/p>\n
The ruling was eventually reaffirmed by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans and then again on Wednesday, by him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat program is vacated, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is enjoined from implementing Final Rule DACA until a further order of the Court, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, or the Supreme Court of the United States,\u201d Hanen noted in his ruling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
