Immigration advocates are urging people eligible to reapply for Temporary Protected Status or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, to stay on top of any policy changes under Trump.

The temporary injunction issued Monday would affect roughly 90,000 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients in Texas.

As the threat of mass deportations looms, hundreds of thousands of immigrants with temporary protections fear they may have to leave the U.S., leaving family and careers behind.

Trump tried to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program before. Since then, it’s been caught up in legal challenges and is likely headed for the Supreme Court.

The fate of tens of thousands of immigrants legally living and working in Texas under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program could hinge on arguments presented Thursday to a panel of federal judges in New Orleans.

Longtime noncitizens married to a U.S. citizen could be eligible to apply for parole that would grant protections. UNT college student Oscar Silva says he plans to apply.

Executive actions from the White House will offer parole to up to half a million immigrants.

A bipartisan group says President Biden should use executive authority to grant longtime undocumented immigrants temporary protection from deportation and work permits.

The federal government estimates as many as 100,000 people in the DACA program could be eligible to enroll in a health care plan through the Affordable Care Act.

For students like Rayvon Bray, the Multicultural Center at the University of North Texas was like a second home — a place to meet friends, play games and share experiences as part of the Black gay community.

A U.S. district judge ruled DACA illegal in September. Local churches show up for immigrants, program recipients.

Andrew Hanen, a federal judge in Houston, has agreed with Texas and eight other states suing to stop the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program.
