Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Support

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling protecting individuals covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. The Court determined that the previous administration's attempt to terminate the program violated federal administrative procedures. While this represents a significant victory for immigrant families and their advocates, the program's long-term security remains uncertain without Congressional action. Permanent legislative protection is essential for all individuals at risk of removal from the United States.
