WASHINGTON, DC, United States (AP) — President Donald Trump said yesterday that he will renew his Administration's effort to end legal protections for young immigrants after the Supreme Court blocked the first try.
In a tweet yesterday morning, Trump said: “The Supreme Court asked us to resubmit on DACA, nothing was lost or won.
Immigrants who are part of DACA will keep those protections, but there are tens of thousands of others who could have enrolled if Trump didn't halt the programme three years ago.
The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights has filed a DACA application for a person who's not part of the programme already, legal services director Luis Perez said, though US Citizenship and Immigration Services hasn't signaled whether it will accept any.
Reyna Montoya, a DACA recipient from the Phoenix area who leads an immigrant rights advocacy organisation, said she and others will keep pushing Congress to take up legislation addressing young immigrants.
