“President Biden says the Department of Justice will appeal a federal judge’s ruling against the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provides protection against deportation to hundreds of thousands of young immigrants known as Dreamers who were brought to the U.S. without documentation as children.

Biden said in a statement Saturday that the ruling “relegates hundreds of thousands of young immigrants to an uncertain future.””
