What makes Bates’ ruling unique, however, is that, unlike federal judges in the 9th and 2nd Circuits, his ruling could revive the DACA program in its entirety. It would also re-establish advanced parole ― a lesser-known provision of the original DACA program that allowed Dreamers to travel abroad under strict circumstances. And yet this is not quite the life raft that we Dreamers were hoping for, not by a long shot. Bates, however, stayed his ruling and gave the federal government 90 days to resubmit its reasoning for terminating the DACA program. This means the Trump administration will strike back with force in an attempt to eliminate DACA once and for all.
