President Donald Trump’s March 5 deadline for reaching a legislative solution to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is now a non-factor in the ongoing debate over the future of some 680,000 illegal aliens who arrived in the U.S. as children.
The legal morass surrounding Trump’s decision to end DACA, currently pending before the 9th and 2nd U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal, will not be resolved quickly, hindering his authority for the foreseeable future.
Trump announced in September 2017 he would terminate DACA on March 5, unless Congress saved the policy by legislation. The deadline had political, not practical, consequences. Under the terms of the program, recipients applied for reauthorization every two years. An immigrant with DACA authorization is exempt from deportation (subject to certain exceptions) and eligible for a work permit. The administration’s announcement meant it would cease issuing reauthorizations after the 5th — but that doesn’t mean every recipient’s protected legal status would instantly expire. Rather, it means their current authorization cannot be renewed once it lapses.
