A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the program was illegal but declined to immediately end it.
U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen previously ruled that Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was unlawful in 2021 and the Biden administration tried to create a new version of the program that would satisfy his concerns.

We hear from Juan Prieto, a DACA recipient and digital communications manager for the Immigrant Legal Resource Center.
