Contrary to what was expected based on the outcome of the recent court case, Casa de Maryland v. Department of Homeland Security, DHS issued a statement today that it will make the following changes to DACA immediately:
- Reject all initial requests for DACA and associated applications for Employment Authorization Documents;
- Reject new and pending requests for advanced parole absent exceptional circumstances; and,
- Limit the period of renewed deferred action granted pursuant to the DACA policy after the issuance of this memorandum to one year.
