“The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, also known as DACA, is no longer accepting new applications after a federal judge ruled the program is illegal.

DACA was created by former President Barack Obama back in 2012 and serves approximately half a million people nationwide. It defers deportation for children of undocumented immigrants if they moved to the United States before the age of 16.

Although the program does not grant legal status or a pathway to citizenship, it does allow people to apply for a driver’s license, Social Security number, and a work permit.”
