Dive Brief:
-
The Trump administration is scaling back the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program while it reviews the Obama-era policy, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday afternoon.
-
New requests for DACA will be rejected and the renewal period of existing protections will be reduced from two years to one.
-
The announcement comes nearly six weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the program, saying the administration did not follow proper administrative procedures in its attempt to end it.
