FILE – In this Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2015 file photo, Mercedes Herrera and others chant during an event on DACA and DAPA Immigration Relief at the Houston International Trade Center in Houston. A federal judge in Texas on Friday, July 16, 2021 ordered an end to an Obama-era program that prevented the deportations of some immigrants brought into the United States as children, putting new pressure for action on President Joe Biden and Democrats who now control Congress. (Melissa Phillip/Houston Chronicle via AP, File) The Biden administration this week plans to publish a proposed rule designed to insulate a deportation relief program for undocumented immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as children from legal challenges that threaten the policy’s existence, congressional officials familiar with the matter told CBS News. The rule, set to be published on Tuesday, would give the public 60 days to submit comments for or against the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy, which provides deportation protection and work permits to roughly 590,000 immigrants known colloquially as “Dreamers.” According to the congressional officials, the proposed rule is expected to rely on the same DACA guidelines outlined in 2012, when the Obama administration created the program, and embrace the “consistent judgment” that immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as minors should not be a priority for deportation. The rule’s publication will represent the latest and most significant effort by the Biden administration to safeguard an immigration program that has been threatened since 2017, when the Trump administration tried to discontinue it. In July, a federal judge in Texas declared DACA unlawful and barred the government from adjudicating applications filed by first-time applicants. The ruling dashed the hopes of tens of thousands of immigrant teenagers and young adults who applied, or hoped to apply, for the program. In addition to questioning DACA’s broader legality, U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen said the policy should have been enacted through a federal regulation open to comments from the public, not a Department of Homeland Security memo. Earlier this month, the Justice Department appealed Hanen’s ruling. For two decades, multiple efforts to place “Dreamers” on pathway to U.S. citizenship have collapsed, despite significant public support. This summer, Democratic lawmakers have been focusing on trying to create a legalization program for “Dreamers” and other undocumented immigrants, including farmworkers, through the budget reconciliation process, which would permit Democrats to approve the plan in the Senate with a simple majority. That plan, however, was dealt a crushing blow last week when the Senate parliamentarian said it could not be included in the reconciliation process, which is designed for budget items.
