Many of the more than 600,000 DACA recipients are now contemplating those same "what-if" scenarios as they find their lives upended by yet another court ruling. Though Trump tried to end the DACA program in 2017, he was ultimately blocked from doing so by the Supreme Court .

Immigration advocates note that one portion of Hanen's ruling underscores how tenuous the stay he granted is when it comes to protecting current DACA recipients.
