The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled Friday that the decision to rescind DACA (deferred action for childhood arrivals) was “arbitrary and capricious”.
The suit was filed by a number of individuals and organizations to protect the rights of children who were previously granted deferred action under the DACA policy. Under the policy, individuals who came to the US as children and submitted various personal and biometric data to the Department of Homeland Security would be allowed to apply for renewable two-year terms of deferred action to stay in the country.
