There would be restrictions related to work permits for those who reside in Texas, which filed a lawsuit against the DACA program in 2018. In Texas, USCIS would take new and renewal applications for the DACA program but recipients residing in the state will not receive a work permit. Attorneys representing DACA recipients proposed adding a wind-down period that would allow Texas residents to keep their work authorization for one more renewal period. The federal government and attorneys for DACA recipients have two more opportunities in October to file responses to the proposals submitted this week. “We need to be able to look at this in a fuller picture than just this case, because we’re seeing the administration detain and deport DACA recipients,” Macedo do Nascimento said on Wednesday.
