The Supreme Court's decision to deny certiorari, meaning that at this time, they will not hear arguments to overturn the lower court decisions to keep DACA in effect, is a rejection of the administration's efforts to bypass judicial review and attempt to force the court to terminate DACA on a highly accelerated timeline. We encourage students to renew their applications. As of right now it is more than likely that the DACA case will not be heard by the Supreme Court before October 2019.

DACA recipients should continue to renew. Eligible DACA recipients should get their renewals in as soon as possible (see below for the list of external resources).
