DACA Update 2026: Texas Lawsuit, Renewal Delays & What Recipients Can Do

Kathleen Martinez breaks down the latest DACA developments, from the ongoing Texas lawsuit and potential changes to work permits to Advance Parole and major renewal delays. She explains why DACA remains a fragile form of protection, when recipients should explore a green card or other immigration options, and what people with delayed renewals can do to push their cases forward. Kathleen also explains why she believes a large class-action lawsuit could put DACA at even greater risk and walks through options including USCIS inquiries, expedite requests, demand letters, and lawsuits for unreasonable delays.
