DACA
The DACA program defers deportation and provides work authorization for individuals who were brought to the United States as children and who pass criminal and national security background checks.
The current administration determined that the DACA program should end on March 5, 2018. Effectively, this provides Congress with six months to provide a legislative solution for the nearly 800,000 individuals impacted by the DACA program termination.
