. the judge rule that the deferred action for childhood arrivals program or darker, was illegally created by former president brock obama, but it doesn't affect the hundreds of thousands of people already enrolled by school calling on present joe biden to respond quickly and protect young migrates. let's speak to brent wilkes about this, his senior vice president for institutional development at the hispanic federation . and he's joining us via zoom from mclean in virginia. thank you so much for being with us. so help us understand this decision for a judge and this ruling argues that donna was illegally created by former president obama. what makes it illegal from his point of view? well, be cited in the last 2 was really the process that the evaluation used to bring about the, the, the executive order on taca. and so it's kind of a technicality. and one of the things that we've noted is that the, in fact,

the judge also acknowledged that the biden administration is seeking to strengthen that this, this deferred action program and to remedy the concerns that were brought up in the lawsuit. so we really think that this ruling didn't have to happen in his premature and that in fact, the administration should be given the time to go ahead and rectify the concerns at the judge and the plaintiff brought in the case at the dream. as have seen this program go back in for so many times from a present, donald trump also tried to ended can, can this ruling be appealed and in what timeframe? it's definitely gotta be appealed. and i think the fact that the judge didn't give the administration a chance to remedy the issues that were cited in the case is a perfect grounds for appeal. so we, we certainly will make sure that the, that our allies are appealing this case. and it probably will end up in the supreme court eventually. so that's definitely concern. but i think in the meantime we, we think this is a perfect example for the white house and for congress to go ahead and move forward

and include a citizen, a pathway to citizenship, for the students that could have been helped by doc, of as well as t p s holders. and folks who are far markers that should be included in the reconciliation bill that, that democrats are working on as we speak. so we want that to be included. and this is a great time to do that. and if they do that and get a pass this case, i was going to ask you about bad if there were other ways here because this is significant, of course, for a lot of people, millions of people in america. what immediate impacts does this decision have on them? and is there any other path to citizenship for them? well, i think from a legal perspective, the only impact of course is for folks who were about to apply or were applying. that were new to the program. anybody that's renewing their docket or currently have the doctor status, they're protected. and so that's

a good thing. although i will say that there are about 640000 people in the states that have darker they are tired of kind of being a political football and having their lives up ended every time. there's new case that's brought so. so this is chris causing all kinds of anxiety out there and it's, it's understandable because doc is not a permanent solution. it's not a, it's, it's a temporary fix. and that's why we think this bill needs to be passed in reconciliation to provide that permanency that permanent legal status and a pathway to citizenship that the students definitely students and adults now they, they definitely deserve that opportunity. they've been part of the united states for so long their citizens and everything but and paper. and we think that they should have the chance to get that permanent legal status. thank you so much for talking to us in explaining this to us. brent wilkes, joining us there from mclean in virginia. thank you for your time. thanks for having me. on the king of 14,
