EIT March Prayer Partner: A Looming Crisis For Dreamers - and the 2022 Evangelical Convening on Immigration - The Supreme Court’s summer 2020 decision that kept the DACA program in place did not consider the legality of how DACA was created back in 2012 – but a court in Texas took up that question and, last summer, ruled that DACA had been created illegally. While that judge temporarily stayed the effects of his decision on current DACA beneficiaries, he made it clear that he or higher courts could lift that stay at any time. Based on past precedent, it’s quite likely that the DACA program will be terminated at some point in the next year or so. Congress can avert this crisis by voting to allow Dreamers a path to earn permanent legal status before judicial decisions are made.
