5) Not in the memo, but on a press call, any new renewal DACA grants will be for two years.
6) Current DACA grants and work permits will not be terminated.
7) Advance parole (or travel permits) will no longer be granted from herein out.
8) Anybody with a current advance parole application will be refunded their fees.
