The ruling puts in jeopardy the Obama-era DACA immigration program, which President Joe Biden had sought to preserve.
A federal judge in southern Texas ordered the Biden administration to immediately stop granting new applications under the Obama-era immigration program known as DACA.
Current DACA recipients won't have their status pulled as a result of the ruling, Judge Andrew Hanen said in a five-page order. The ruling, which cuts against President Joe Biden's support for preserving the program, came the same day that outlets reported the number of arrests at the U.S.-Mexico border had reached its highest level at this point in the year in more than a decade.
