President Joe Biden’s administration unveiled on Sept. 27 a new rule aimed to protect an Obama-era program that has shielded more than 600,000 illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children.

The proposed rule (pdf) would “preserve and fortify” the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, in an attempt to respond to a court ruling that the program was illegally created.
