The Immigrant Legal Defense will be holding a Zoom webinar and Q&A session Friday, October 7, 2022, at 10 am to discuss the latest on the decision from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that DACA is unlawful and sent the case challenging the DACA policy back to the district court that originally ruled to end DACA. Our legal experts are still putting together a full analysis of the opinion. In the meantime, we wanted to share some important information about what this means and what comes next.
