According to this article on New York Post, by Samuel Chamberlain

“The White House is attempting to bring back the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program months after a federal judge ruled it had not been properly implemented and blocked officials from accepting new applications.

The move by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Monday was likely to kick off another round of litigation over immigration policy and a program that has come under fire almost from the moment it was announced by the 44th president in June 2012.

In his July ruling, US District Judge Andrew Hanen ruled that DACA — which protects illegal immigrants brought to the US as children from deportation — violated the federal Administrative Procedure Act, which dictates how agencies develop and implement regulations. Nine Republican-run states had sued to halt the program, arguing that Obama did not have the authority to create DACA because he had bypassed Congress.”
