What Is DACA?
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was established to protect immigrants from deportation who were brought to the United States as undocumented children. DACA gives eligible undocumented immigrants: protection from deportation, and a work permit. The program expires after two years, subject to renewal. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is accepting renewal DACA applications. .

Judge Hanen鈥檚 opinion is that DACA is not a lawful program, but for now will allow those with existing DACA to continue to renew. No initial applications will be granted at this time.
