TOP NEWS DACA recipients will finally get health care  Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images Thursday, President Joe Biden proposed expanding access to Medicaid and Affordable Care Act coverage to undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children. [Reuters] Since 2012, the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program has allowed young people known as "Dreamers" to work and study in the US without facing deportation. Biden's rule would be a major expansion of that program. [Washington Post / Amy Goldstein] If finalized, the new rule would change the definition of who is "lawfully present" to cover roughly 580,000 DACA recipients. More than a third are without health care coverage. [USA Today / Erin Mansfield]  The proposal comes as a federal judge is set to rule on a Republican challenge that could render DACA unlawful. A ruling has blocked new participants from joining since 2021. [NBC News / Nicole Acevedo] Despite repeated calls from Biden and immigration advocates, Congress has failed to provide a path to citizenship for the Dreamers or to pass immigration reform.
