DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.  Under DACA, the US government does not deport immigrants who were brought to the United States as children.  You might have heard about DACA in the news, especially when there have been legal challenges to its continued existence.

What is the current status of DACA?
user
The DACA program was first announced by President Obama in 2012.  The program has a maximum duration of two years, and those who enroll are eligible for renewable work permits, and those who are currently enrolled can renew their work permits.  However, many of the protections for DACA enrollees, and legal rights of those who are considered “DACAmented”, are currently under challenge.  There is also an application for a change in status, which includes a background check, a legal review, and a meeting with an immigration officer.  In the future, it is expected that this application process will be automated, and will occur over the internet.

What did the Supreme Court say about DACA?
user
Last year, the Supreme Court did not hear a case about DACA, but it is expected that the Court will eventually hear the case.  This will likely happen in 2018.  The Court could decide that the government did not have the right to make DACA, or that it was fine for the government to do so.  However, if the Court rules that the government did have the right to make DACA, then the current challenges to DACA would not be successful, since the current rulings would then be upheld.
