Texas Daca Work Permits Face Imminent Ruling

A federal judge in Texas will soon rule on competing plans that could strip Daca recipients in the state of their work permits, escalating years of legal uncertainty. Judge Andrew Hanen is weighing a Trump administration proposal to revoke Texas work authorizations while reopening Daca elsewhere, along with a push by Republican-led states to phase out the program entirely. With 86,000 recipients in Texas, advocates warn of economic damage and personal upheaval; Houston salon owner Laura Alguera called the prospect “heartbreaking.” Texas has also halted commercial driver’s licenses for non-citizens and enforced English rules.
