"US Judge Reaffirms DACA as Illegal, Setting Stage for Supreme Court Decision"

A US judge has ruled against the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which offers deportation relief and work permits to immigrants brought to the country illegally as children, known as "Dreamers." The judge found that a regulation issued by President Joe Biden's administration last year did not address the legal deficiencies that led him to deem DACA unlawful in 2021. The ruling is a setback for the program and its 579,000 enrollees, but the Department of Homeland Security can continue to renew the status of those already enrolled. The decision is expected to be appealed.

Texas Forced to Relocate Rio Grande Barriers as Judge Sides with Biden

A U.S. judge has ordered Texas to relocate floating buoys that were placed in the Rio Grande to block migrants from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, siding with President Joe Biden's administration. The judge ruled that the barrier disrupts navigation and was installed without permission from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who has been critical of Biden's border security policies, immediately appealed the ruling and stated that the battle to defend Texas' authority to protect its borders has just begun. The buoys have caused strain in the U.S.-Mexico relationship and pose a risk to watercraft.

US Judge Upholds Florida Law Restricting Chinese and Seven Other Countries from Buying Property

A US judge has declined to block a new Florida law that limits the ability of Chinese citizens to purchase property in the state. The law, which went into effect on July 1, will remain in place while the court case continues. The plaintiffs argue that the law is discriminatory, violates fair housing standards, and is unconstitutional. The lawsuit is supported by the US Justice Department.
