DACA

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is the US’ immigration policy that allows undocumented immigrants, who were brought into the country as children, to receive a renewable 2-year period of deferred action from deportation and become eligible for a work permit within the US. The Trump Administration had tried ending this Obama-era programme in 2017. Recently, a federal court has ordered the full reinstatement of this programme – a ruling that would help a large number of Indian immigrants.
