WASHINGTON(TIP): Indian American Rep. Pramila Jayapal has applauded a ruling by US District Judge John Bates asking the Trump administration to continue accepting DACA applications without ending the program.

“I’m thrilled that Judge Bares uphold the rule of law and force Trump administration to resume accepting DACA applications,” wrote Jayapal. “Donald Trump created this crisis. He single-handedly made DACA recipients deportable and rejected the bipartisan proposal that would have helped these young people.”

The ruling of the federal judge is a blow to the Trump administrations, which decided to end the DACA program on April 24.

In addition to overturning the move to end DACA, the judge also ruled that the government should accept new DACA applications.

The DACA program allows those undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States illegally as children by their parents to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation.

Urging Trump to stop trying to strip DACA recipients of their right to live in the United States, the Washington Democrat said she would continue to push for a clean Dream Act in Congress, so that these young people who know only the United States as their home can live without the fear of deportation.

“Time and again courts have determined that the inhumane decision to end DACA was ‘arbitrary and capricious.’ We will continue to loudly say that immigrants are welcome here,” read Jayapal’s statement.

Earlier, Trump had said that he will protect the DACA recipients and allow them to stay in the country if Congress approves his campaign promise to build the border wall and make changes to the immigration system.
