ABC’s Good Morning America covered it — but for a scant 19 seconds. Here’s GMA co-host George Stephanopoulos: “A federal appeals court has agreed that the DACA immigration policy is illegal. Will allow it to continue for now.” He added, “[The program] protects immigrants brought to the U.S. as children from being deported. President Biden said the new ruling means that the lives of Dreamers remains in limbo.”
