Board Rules DACA Alone Can't End Removal Proceedings
The Board of Immigration Appeals ruled that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program does not automatically terminate removal proceedings. This decision was made in the case of a Mexican DACA recipient.
According to the court, the immigration judge erred in relying solely on the deportation protection afforded by the DACA program to terminate the removal proceedings. The court emphasized that receiving DACA is not grounds for automatic termination of removal proceedings.
This verdict may impact many DACA recipients who may face deportation. The immigration court must consider all circumstances of the case before making a decision on deportation.
What This Means for DACA Recipients
DACA recipients should be aware that this decision may affect their status in the country. If you are a DACA recipient and are facing deportation, it is essential to consult with an immigration attorney about your case.
