Government to resume processing DACA renewals, citing judge’s ruling

"The Department of Homeland Security announced Saturday it would resume processing renewal applications for young undocumented immigrants seeking protection from deportation under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA/"

So if you're watching Fox News Sunday, listen carefully to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

I'd like a post about her confirming this or not, please!

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals: Response to January 2018 Preliminary Injunction : USCIS

Due to a federal court order, USCIS has resumed accepting requests to renew a grant of deferred action under DACA. Until further notice, and unless otherwise provided in this guidance, the DACA policy will be operated on the terms in place before it was rescinded on Sept. 5, 2017.

Individuals who were previously granted deferred action under DACA may request renewal by filing Form I-821D (PDF), Form I-765 (PDF), and Form I-765 Worksheet (PDF), with the appropriate fee or approved fee exemption request, at the USCIS designated filing location, and in accordance with the instructions to the Form I-821D (PDF) and Form I-765 (PDF). USCIS is not accepting requests from individuals who have never before been granted deferred action under DACA. USCIS will not accept or approve advance parole requests from DACA recipients.

The number of dreamers covered can only decrease.

Processing does not equate to approval. I would assume that given the various deadlines, the courts will hear the USG’s appeal sooner rather than later.
