Chinanews.com, July 29. According to the US Chinese website, on the 28th local time, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security stated that the Trump administration is reviewing the “Deferred Repatriation Program for Childhood Arrivals” (DACA, also known as the “Dream Student” program). ), will no longer accept new applications for the program, and reduce the renewal period from the current two years to one year.

According to reports, the "Dream Life" program aims to protect certain young immigrants from deportation and allow them to obtain work permits. US President Trump ordered the abolition of the plan in September 2017. Approximately 700,000 immigrants were affected, of which more than 510,000 were from Mexico.
In June 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration’s move to abolish the "Dream Life" plan, which was regarded as a major setback for the White House in its tough immigration policy. In early July, a federal judge stated that the Trump administration must begin accepting new applications for the "Dreamborn" program.
However, a senior government official said, "The government is now fully reviewing the "Dreamborn" program and the reasons provided for the abolition of the "Dreamborn", including its illegality and the "immigrant behavior" in the plan (including Smuggling and illegal border crossing)."
At the same time, the Trump administration will reject all initial requests and application fees for new applications. The government will rule on all renewal applications on a case-by-case basis under the immigration law, but will provide a one-year validity period instead of the current two years. And all applications for advance entry permits "will be rejected under no special circumstances."
On July 28, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Wolff detailed these changes in a memo issued. This is the third memo issued by the Trump administration to abolish the plan.
