Castro said he received approval on his renewal the same day his permit expired. "It barely made it, but it was really stressful. There’s people that they have been waiting since December." Like many other "Dreamers," Castro still hopes for the day when a pathway to citizenship becomes a reality. That hope was diminished a little more after the ruling that halted approval of new DACA applicants. In a statement, President Joe Biden called the federal ruling on DACA "deeply disappointing." Biden's statement also said, "The Department of Justice intends to appeal this decision in order to preserve and fortify DACA. And, as the court recognized, the Department of Homeland Security plans to issue a proposed rule concerning DACA in the near future."
