History

Historical Context

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, initiated in 2012, provided protection to over 800,000 undocumented immigrants, primarily from California. However, in 2017, President Trump announced its termination, reigniting tensions over immigration enforcement.
