Immigrants and advocates are urging Democrats and President Joe Biden to quickly act on legislation to protect young immigrants after a federal judge in Texas on Friday ruled illegal an Obama-era program that prevents the deportation of thousands of them brought into the U.S. as children.
Plaintiffs have vowed to appeal the decision by U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen, who declared the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program illegal, barring the government from approving any new applications, but leaving the program intact for existing recipients.

A preliminary investigation to this point has led the AG s office to learn that a uniformed Atlantic City Police Officer was on their way to a call for service with no lights or sirens activated heading northbound on Arkansas Avenue on June 18 around 8:30 pm crossing near Arctic Avenue.
Everett Stern, 63, of Atlantic City was heading east on Arctic Avenue at that time and his bicycle then hit the driver side of the police vehicle.
The officer called for help from emergency medical personnel and began providing on scene aid to Stern who had suffered critical injuries.

LOS ANGELES - A U.S. federal judge in Texas on Friday ruled that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is illegal, ordering the program to halt approvals of new applications.
U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen ruled partly in favor of Texas and eight other conservative states that had sued to halt the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which provides limited protections to about 650,000 people.
People who are already enrolled won t lose protections, but Hanen is barring the approval of new applications.
