A federal appeals court on Thursday weighed the fate of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy, or DACA, the Obama-era program that currently allows more than half a million undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children to live and work in the country without fear of deportation.Enacted in 2012 to protect a population colloquially known as Dreamers, DACA has been the subject of a years-long court battle and remains in legal jeopardy due to a lawsuit by Texas and other Republican-led states that oppose the policy.On Thursday morning, a panel of judges on the New Orleans-based Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit heard oral arguments over the legality of a Biden administration effort in 2021 to codify the program, initially implemented through a memo, into a federal regulation.
