The Biden administration on Aug. 24 finalized a rule to preserve and fortify the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which shields certain immigrants who came to the United States illegally as children from deportation.
“Today, we are taking another step to do everything in our power to preserve and fortify DACA, an extraordinary program that has transformed the lives of so many Dreamers,” Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement upon announcing the final rule issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
