The Board of Immigration Appeals, an appellate court within the federal Justice Department, issued a decision last Friday that could affect some 11,270 Bay Area immigrants who are recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, and make it easier to deport them. In an April 24 four-page decision, Chief Appellate Immigration Judge Garry D. Malphrus sided with federal attorneys and wrote that a previous immigration judge had “erred” in terminating the removal proceedings of a person just because they were a DACA recipient. Though the case has been reassigned to a new immigration judge for review, it sets a precedent that DACA status is no longer enough to automatically protect immigrants within removal proceedings, which can lead to deportation.
