DACA

AP reports federal agents arrested DACA recipient Yaakub Vijandre at his Dallas-area home in early October as the Trump administration steps up enforcement, with DHS stating DACA does not automatically shield recipients from deportation. DHS alleged Vijandre’s social media glorified terrorism—claims his attorney says are protected speech—and advocates say about 20 DACA recipients have been detained since January, while a 5th Circuit ruling to deny DACA work permits in Texas awaits implementation details before a federal judge.
