DACA’s current legal troubles
The Supreme Court appeared to rescue DACA in 2020, ruling that the Trump administration had violated federal procedural rules when it ordered the program terminated in 2017. But a year later, U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen in Houston ruled against the program, declaring that the Department of Homeland Security memorandum that created DACA had exceeded its authority and violated federal procedural rules.
Hanen allowed the government to continue the program for current enrollees, but not to sign up any new ones. That remains the status quo.
Last year, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Hanen’s ruling. But the panel sent the case back to his court to consider a new DACA rule issued by the Biden administration in August 2022.
On Sept. 13, , Hanen once again ruled that DACA is unlawful, as most legal analysts expected he would. Also as expected, he put his order on hold for all current DACA recipients, meaning that their benefits will continue with no change pending further litigation. The case is likely to once again be appealed to the 5th Circuit and ultimately to the Supreme Court.
At this point I would I think it will end. (unlike the CA source of this explanation, referring to appeals)
