On December 4, 2020, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York ordered that the July 2020 memorandum issued by Chad Wolf, suspending portions of DACA, is vacated. This order follows the court’s earlier ruling that DHS Acting Secretary Wolf was not lawfully serving in that role when he issued his memo.
As a result, on December 7, 2020, the government published a notice on its website that is accepting first-time DACA applications, DACA renewal requests, and applications for advance parole from DACA recipients according to the terms of the DACA program before its termination in 2017 . The court also ordered the government to extend all one-year DACA grants and employment authorization documents to two -years.
