On Friday, July 16, 2021 Texas Federal Judge Hanen put on hold the DACA program, DHS may accept new DACA applications but it cannot approve new DACA applications. Judge Hanen has put the lives of thousands of Dreamers on hold. As of now, DACA Renewals will still be accepted and processed due to the injunctions from Batalla Vidal, which enables USCIS to accept and adjudicate a DACA application by anyone who has previously been accepted into the DACA program.
