US judge rules against Biden's immigration policy regulation for 'Dreamers'

India Today  

A US judge on Wednesday ruled against a programme offering deportation relief and work permits to immigrants brought to the country illegally as children, known as "Dreamers", despite an attempt by President Joe Biden's administration to bolster the initiative's standing with a new regulation. Hanen, a Republican-appointed judge, found a regulation issued last year by Biden's Democratic administration did not remedy legal deficiencies that led him to find DACA unlawful in 2021 and block any expansion of the programme, which has been in place for more than a decade. Thomas Saenz, president of the Mexican American Legal Defence and Educational Fund, which represents DACA recipients siding with the Biden administration in the litigation, called Hanen's ruling "more of the same flawed analysis". In October 2022, the conservative-leaning fifth US Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed Hanen's ruling against DACA, but sent the case back to him for reconsideration in light of Biden's regulation formalising the programme.
