The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients are not entitled to enroll in certain Georgia colleges and universities that bar those without “lawful presence.” The Court ruled that the DACA program does not confer lawful presence on recipients, and that Georgia’s admissions bar does not violate a DACA recipient’s right to equal protection.

Georgia Board of Regents policy prohibits those “who [are] not lawfully in the United States” from enrolling in the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech or Georgia College & State University unless those institutions enrolled all of their academically qualified applicants for the previous two years.

In 2016, three DACA recipients filed a federal lawsuit challenging the state’s policy. They argued that they are lawfully present under federal law, which preempts state law, and that the admissions bar is unconstitutional since it treats DACA recipients differently than aliens who are paroled into the U.S. or granted asylum. A district judge in Atlanta rejected their claims in 2017. The plaintiffs appealed his ruling to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld it.

SHANGHAI — Apple CEO Tim Cook and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg met Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday at an annual gathering of advisers to Beijing's Tsinghua University business school.

Xi was speaking with business leaders and officials at the meeting, the state broadcaster China Central Television reported. Cook and Zuckerberg are on the advisory board of the Tsinghua School of Economics and Management.

The meeting comes at a particularly key time for Apple as it prepares to launch its much-anticipated iPhone X on Friday, amid hopes the anniversary smartphone can revive the firm's sales in the world's second-largest economy.

Tsinghua's business school, founded in 1984, has seen scores of top Chinese and foreign industry leaders sit on its board, including the head of China's central bank, Zhou Xiaochuan, and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein.

Facebook's Zuckerberg has also been very active in China, eager to get his popular social network unblocked in the world's most populous nation, where it has been banned since 2009 and held behind the country's so-called Great Firewall.

An Apple spokeswoman said the firm couldn't "comment on Tim's schedule and or meetings." Facebook confirmed Zuckerberg was in Beijing but declined to comment on details of his visit.

In a post on his Facebook page on Saturday, Zuckerberg wrote he was in Beijing for the annual meeting. "Every year this trip is a great way to keep up with the pace of innovation and entrepreneurship in China," he said.
