The Obama administration initiative provided work permits and protection from deportation for certain undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children. Recently, U.S. District Judge William Alsup issued an injunction requiring that the safeguards against deportation and work permits must remain in place while a legal challenge to the DACA rescission proceeds.
"We'll see if the injunction stays in place, but at least as long as it’s in place, DACA lives for the current DACA recipients,” said Johnson.
