Federal judge rules DACA unlawful but allows program to continue as case heads to Supreme Court

A federal judge in Texas ruled the DACA program illegal for the second time, arguing it violated administrative law.
The judge's ruling bars approval of new DACA applications but allows renewals for current recipients.
The Biden administration plans to appeal the decision, likely sending it to the Supreme Court for a third time.
DACA grants deportation deferrals and work permits to immigrants brought illegally to the US as children.
The case highlights the need for Congressional action on permanent protections for DACA recipients, according to advocates.
