DHS Acting Secretary Chad Wolf issued a memo, “Reconsideration of the June 15, 2012 Memorandum Entitled ‘Exercising Prosecutorial Discretion with Respect to Individuals Who Came to the United States as Children,’” noting that in response to the Supreme Court’s decision, he is rescinding the 2017 and 2018 memoranda that rescinded DACA. Pending the Acting Secretary’s full reconsideration of the DACA policy, per the memo, DHS will:

reject all pending and future initial requests for DACA;
reject all pending and future applications for advance parole absent exceptional circumstances;
and shorten the period of renewed deferred action granted pursuant to the DACA policy after the issuance of the memorandum to one year.

Information on the U.S. Supreme Court's DACA Decision

What did the Supreme Court Decide?

On June 18, 2020, the Supreme Court of the United States held 5-4 that the decision by the DHS to terminate DACA could not stand because it was “arbitrary and capricious” under U.S. law. On September 5, 2017, then Attorney General Sessions had announced that DACA would be rescinded. The Court reasoned that the “agency must defend its actions based on the reasons it gave when it acted” and further that DHS failed to consider “reliance” interests such as a broader renewal period for DACA recipients or a more accommodating termination date.

It is important to recognize that the government can still terminate DACA in the future. It just must do it by a procedure that takes into account the hundreds of thousands of people who have relied on the program. At the very least, we call upon Congress and the President to enact permanent immigration reform that gives a pathway to residency and citizenship to Dreamers.

Does the Decision Mean that DACA Can Never End?

No. The decision is limited to how the DHS ended DACA in 2017. Specifically, the Court found that DHS failed to provide a reasonable explanation for ending DACA. How and if DHS chooses to proceed in the future (i.e., retaining DACA, issuing a new memorandum/explanation ending DACA, etc.) remains to be seen.

Did the Supreme Court Make a Decision About Whether DACA is Lawful?

No. The Court did not decide if DACA is lawful or a good policy. The decision is limited to “whether the agency complied with the procedural requirement that it provide a reasoned explanation for its action.”

Can I submit an application for DACA for the first time?

The Supreme Court’s decision means that DACA should be fully reinstated, allowing for first time DACA requests. With that said, DHS will need to reopen the DACA policy for new requests consistent with today’s decision. However, this may not happen immediately.

I have DACA. Can I renew my DACA?

Yes. If you have been granted DACA before, you should be able to submit an application to renew DACA.

I have DACA. Can I apply for advance parole that allows me to return to the country after traveling outside it?

The Supreme Court’s conclusion that DACA was terminated unlawfully means that advance parole should be reinstated. DHS will need to reopen the DACA policy for advance parole requests consistent with today’s decision. However, this may not happen immediately. And the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may limit the ability to travel.

Información sobre la decisión DACA de la Corte Suprema de los EE. UU.

¿Qué decidió la Corte Suprema?

El 18 de junio de 2020, la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos sostuvo 5-4 que la decisión del DHS de rescindir DACA no podía sostenerse porque era "arbitraria y caprichosa" según la ley estadounidense. El 5 de septiembre de 2017, el Fiscal General Sessions anunció que DACA sería rescindido. El Tribunal razonó que la "agencia debe defender sus acciones con base en las razones que dio cuando actuó" y además que DHS no consideró los intereses de "confianza", como un período de renovación más amplio para los beneficiarios de DACA o una fecha de terminación más complaciente.

Es importante reconocer que el gobierno aún puede rescindir DACA en el futuro. Simplemente debe hacerlo mediante un procedimiento que tenga en cuenta a los cientos de miles de personas que han confiado en el programa. Como mínimo, hacemos un llamado al Congreso y al Presidente para que promulguen una reforma migratoria permanente que brinde un camino a la residencia y la ciudadanía para los Soñadores.

¿Qué significa esta decisión? ¿Qué DACA nunca puede terminar?

No. La decisión se limita a cómo DHS finalizó DACA en 2017. Específicamente, el Tribunal determinó que el DHS no proporcionó una explicación razonable para finalizar DACA. Queda por ver cómo y si DHS elige proceder en el futuro (es decir, retener DACA, emitir un nuevo memorando / explicación que finalice DACA, etc.).

¿El Tribunal Supremo tomó una decisión sobre si DACA es legal?

No. El Tribunal no decidió si DACA es legal o es una buena política. La decisión se limita a "si la agencia cumplió con el requisito de procedimiento de proporcionar una explicación razonada de su acción".

¿Puedo aplicar una solicitud de DACA por primera vez?

La decisión de la Corte Suprema significa que DACA debe restablecerse por completo, permitiendo por primera vez las solicitudes de DACA. Dicho esto, DHS deberá reabrir la política de DACA para nuevas solicitudes consistentes con la decisión de hoy. Sin embargo, esto puede no suceder de inmediato.

Tengo DACA ¿Puedo renovar mi DACA?

Si. Si se le ha otorgado DACA anteriormente, debe poder enviar una solicitud para renovar DACA.

Tengo DACA ¿Puedo solicitar una libertad condicional anticipada que me permita regresar al país después de viajar fuera de él?

La conclusión de la Corte Suprema de que DACA fue terminado ilegalmente significa que la libertad condicional anticipada debe ser restablecida. DHS deberá reabrir la política de DACA para las solicitudes de libertad condicional por adelantado de acuerdo con la decisión de hoy. Sin embargo, esto puede no suceder de inmediato. Y el impacto potencial de la pandemia de COVID-19 puede limitar la capacidad de viajar.
