Illegal immigrants who were brought over as children, known as "Dreamers," can renew their DACA applications, but no new requests will be processed, The Associated Press reported.
Bates initially ordered U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to restart DACA by Aug. 23.
USCIS warned restarting the program would force the agency to look at the uptick of roughly 50,000 new DACA applications instead of focusing on legal immigrant and guest worker applications, The Washington Times reported on Aug. 15.
The judge also delayed providing special protections to DACA recipients.
Government officials said more than 100,000 new DACA applications and 30,000 advance parole requests would occur if DACA were completely rebooted and cause strain on USCIS, The Washington Times reported Saturday.
Bates' ruling comes as the decision on whether to completely remove DACA looms in Texas.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, argued that the implementation of DACA was federal overreach and was a financial burden to states, the Dallas Morning News reported on Aug. 8.
