Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)

Also known as: DACA

Concept

DACA is a U.S. immigration program created in 2012 that provides temporary protection from removal and renewable work authorization to certain individuals who came to the United States as children. DACA does not confer lawful immigration status or a path to citizenship on its own.
