New York (WBAP/KLIF) – The U.S. government says it has approved the first new applicants in several years to the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program for immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that President Trump violated federal law in the way he ended the program in 2017. A lower court judge then ordered the so-called “dreamers” program re-instated. In its first court-ordered report since then the government said it approved 174 new applications, denied 121, and rejected 369.
