Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a United States immigration policy introduced by President Barack Obama in 2012. It protects certain immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children from being deported for a two-year period. In order to be allowed to remain in the U.S., DACA recipients must regularly apply to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) for renewals. DACA does not provide a path to citizenship.
President Donald Trump tried to end the DACA program in 2020, but the U.S. Supreme Court ordered it reinstated. However, currently, no new applications are being accepted. Only those who are already in the program can apply to have their status renewed.
