Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Thursday that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is not accepting new applications for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, following a federal judge’s Tuesday ruling that the government has not fully justified its decision to end the program.

“We are not taking new applications,” Nielsen told Rep. Sheila Lee Jackson, D-Texas, during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing Thursday. “We are complying with all court orders so what that means is if you’re a currently registered DACA recipient, you will not be deported. If you have applied for recertification as a DACA individual, you also will not be deported.”
