June 18, 2020
The U.S. Supreme Court is due to announce its decision soon on whether the DACA program – which has lifted up the lives and provided work authorization for over 700,000 Dreamers since 2012 – can stand, or whether attempts to end it will succeed.The court is likely to announce its decision on a remaining Monday or Thursday during June. There is also a chance the decision could be delayed until July, due to COVID-19.
