Nine Republican states have filed a lawsuit asking a federal judge to end the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) immigration program, aiming to phase it out over two years, and insisted that President Joe Biden overstepped his authority when he renewed it in 2022.

DACA allows illegal immigrants who arrived in the United States as children to receive a two-year renewable deferred action from deportation, making them eligible for a work permit. President Biden renewed the DACA program last year, transforming it into a federal regulation. The renewal was announced in August 2022. It came into effect on Oct. 31, with the regulation replacing former president Barack Obama’s 2012 memo that initially established DACA.
