Judge rules new DACA program can continue temporarily

A group of more than 50 community activists and others gathered Friday, Oct. 14, 2022, at a park next to the federal courthouse in Houston, in support of a federal policy that prevents the deportation of hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. Earlier Friday, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen said during a court hearing the policy, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, can continue with limitations that he previously set while he reviews new regulations for the program.
