History

Historical Context

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was established in 2012, protecting around 800,000 undocumented immigrants from deportation. Following the U.S. Supreme Court's 2020 ruling that eased immigration enforcement, concerns about aggressive tactics by ICE have intensified.
