On May 26, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) request to stay (remove) the injunction on expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA).

In other words, expanded DACA and DAPA are still on hold.

What comes next?
The Obama administration's appeal of the preliminary injunction, which is different than the request to stay, is still in effect and a hearing on the matter is tentatively scheduled for July 6.

If the court decides to lift the injunction, USCIS can begin accepting applications for both expanded DACA and DAPA soon afterwards. However, if the 5th Circuit Court decides not to remove the injunction, the DOJ can appeal to the Supreme Court.

Either way, the deferred action lawsuit continues.
