A former prosecutor, E. Abel Arcia is the senior and managing attorney for the Law Office of Arcia & Associates, where he guides various practice groups, including one focused on immigration law. E. Abel Arcia and his team of highly-competent lawyers represent clients in complex immigration cases in several states, including California.
As a result of legal challenges filed against the federal government by the University of California (UC), enforcement of the decision to end the protections conferred to immigrants under Deferred Action Against Childhood Arrivals (DACA) has been blocked by a federal injunction. UC filed the lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in September 2017.
UC brought the DHS to court over the infringement of DACA recipient’s rights. Since early 2018, an injunction issued by Judge William Alsup has enabled more than 117,000 DACA recipients to extend their status for two more years. The injunction provides relief for current DACA immigrants while the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reviews the district court’s decision. As of July 2018, the injunction remains in place.
Federal judges in New York State and Washington, D.C., have also made similar rulings finding that the federal government violated the law by rescinding DACA.
