DACA Lawsuit Results in Nationwide Injunction

Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis of the federal district court in Brooklyn has stepped into the DACA debate and issued an injunction ordering the Administration to keep DACA in place as it was before the Administration announced termination of the program. However, USCIS has announced that it is not accepting DACA requests from individuals never granted DACA. The injunction from Judge Garaufis is similar to one issued last month by Judge William Alsup of the federal district court in San Francisco.
