Trump's restrictions on the DACA program completely canceled: how it works now
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has resumed applications for participation in the DACA program. This program protects against the deportation of immigrants smuggled into the United States as children (the so-called "dreamers"). This is stated on the site USCIS.

November 14, 2020 Judge Nicholas George Garaufis of United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York delivered an opinion on the memorandum dated July 28, 2020, signed by Acting Head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chad Wolfe, restricting the DACA program.
Due to the department not making any changes, on December 4, the judge ordered DHS to comply with the judgment. As a result, from December 7, USCIS resumed accepting applications for participation in the program under the conditions that were in effect before the restrictions were imposed by the administration of US President Donald Trump.

Also, all program participants whose work permit is about to expire can now apply for a 2-year extension. Previously, this period was limited to 1 year.
The agency will also accept an application to travel outside the United States based on the terms of the DACA policy in effect prior to September 5, 2017.

USCIS will also take all appropriate steps to grant a further one-year extension of DACA work permit documents for persons to whom they were issued on or after July 28, 2020, with a one-year validity period in accordance with Wolfe's memorandum.
DHS will comply with Judge Garaufis's order as long as it remains in effect, but the agency may ask the court to overturn it.
