With Judge Hanen’s Final Ruling, President Biden Should Ready Deferred Enforced Departure
Now that Judge Hanen has ruled against the Administration’s efforts to codify DACA through regulation, President Biden should ready the use of Deferred Enforced Departure to protect the DACA-eligible population ahead of a likely affirmance by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and a possible adverse decision from the Supreme Court.
In support of this exercise of his constitutional foreign relations authority and in response to Judge Hanen’s ruling, the campaign is publishing an updated version of its report, DACA as Diplomacy: Protecting U.S. Foreign Policy Interests Through Deferred Enforced Departure for DACA Eligible, including foreign policy developments strengthening the case for DED.
