Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
News and Updates
On July 28, 2020, slightly over a month after the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision holding that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program should be restored to the original 2012 program, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a memorandum limiting the DACA program. On August 21, 2020 the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) provided written guidance on how it will implement the July 28, 2020 DACA policy.
For more information regarding DACA, the July 28, 2020 memorandum, and its implementation, please visit the Immigrant Legal Resource Center and National Immigrant Justice Center FAQs.
While legal challenges to the July 28, 2020 DHS policy have been filed, the memo remains in effect.
