JUST IN — The Dept. of Homeland Security will be issuing a new regulation concerning the DACA program to comply with President Biden’s instructions to “preserve and fortify” the Obama-era protections for Dreamers, the Justice Department tells a federal court. 
The notice was provided to federal judge Andrew Hanen, who is set to rule on the legality of the DACA program.
Texas wants Hanen to declare DACA unlawful and slowly kill the program.
Unlike the Trump administration, the Biden administration is defending DACA in court.

Unlike the Trump administration, the Biden administration is defending DACA in court.
Judge Hanen, who has previously said DACA is likely unlawful, scheduled a hearing on this key case on Tuesday.
The reason this is important is because DACA was created through a memo issued by then-DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano in 2012. It was not codified as a rule / regulation subject to public comments.
This is one of issues Texas has cited in its lawsuit seeking to end DACA.
