DACA
On June 18, 2020, the Supreme Court blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). DACA is a rule that allows immigrants who were brought into the US as children to avoid deportation. The 5-4 ruling is a huge victory for immigrant communities and their allies who mobilized to protect the DACA program.
The Supreme Court decision means:
- Current DACA recipients continue to be protected from deportation and eligible for benefits under the DACA program.
- US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) must continue to accept and process DACA renewal applications.
- USCIS should begin accepting initial (first-time) DACA applications as well as applications for advance parole. All eligible individuals should consult with a legal service provider for information about applying for DACA for the first time, renewing their existing DACA, and/or getting screened for eligibility for other, more permanent immigration options.
Although the Court sided with DACA recipients, the program remains in jeopardy until there’s a permanent legislative solution.
