A federal judge in North Dakota temporarily blocked a Biden administration rule that would have granted Dreamers to access health care through the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

U.S. District Judge Daniel M. Traynor granted Kansas, alongside 18 other states, a stay regarding a final rule from the Biden administration allowing some DACA recipients, or Dreamers, access to the ACA marketplace, according to The Hill.
