Supreme Court Ruling Will Impact Many Undocumented Students in Minnesota

Posted on Apr 12 2016

The Supreme court could decide on the constitutionality of President Obama’s executive order from 2014 in the case United States v Texas as soon as this summer. The case concerns the expanded DACA and DAPA.

The expanded DACA eliminates the age gap for DACA, changes the date of entry for DACA eligibility purposes, and grants work authorization for a period of three years instead of two. More information on the expanded DACA can be found here.

In Minnesota, 12,810 (Center for Immigration Studies) individuals are eligible for the original or expanded DACA program. If the Supreme Court decides in favor of President Obama’s administration, more students could gain the opportunity to obtain proper work authorization.
