WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump will allow certain young, undocumented immigrants to renew deportation protections for one year as his administration reviews a Supreme Court decision that blocked his efforts to end a program designed to let them to remain in the United States.
The administration will maintain its limited implementation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program rejecting new applications and reviewing requests for renewal on a case-by-case basis, according to a senior administration official who spoke to reporters Tuesday on condition of anonymity. Renewals only will be granted for a one-year period.
The administration’s review is intended to prepare for a new attempt to end the program that shields from deportation and allows work permits for nearly 700,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.
