Trump Administration Rescinds DAPA, But DACA Remains in Effect, for Now

DHS has announced that the November 20, 2014, memorandum that created the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) program, and provided expanded work authorization for DACA recipients, has been rescinded because "there is no credible path forward to litigate the currently enjoined policy." DHS also announced that the June 15, 2012 memorandum that created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program will remain in effect, but with no commitment for how long.
