History

Historical Context

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was established in 2012, allowing around 800,000 undocumented immigrants to remain in the U.S. without deportation fears. The program emerged amid rising tensions over immigration policies, particularly during the Trump administration, which intensified scrutiny of ICE operations. The situation in Upton, Massachusetts, exemplifies the ongoing challenges faced by migrants and the complexities of U.S. immigration enforcement.
