“New York “dreamers” and their advocates say they’re disappointed but undaunted by last week’s federal appeals court ruling that cast fresh doubt on a program that protects some 600,000 to 800,000 young immigrants from deportation.

The ruling by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a district court ruling out of Houston that found the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, was illegal. Nonetheless, the court still allowed the migrants, brought to this country unlawfully as minors, to renew their DACA status for now – in effect maintaining the status quo.”
