Thirteen years ago, DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, was initiated to protect a million children who entered the U.S. illegally. Many, like Yaquelin, who arrived at age six, now face an uncertain future as a Texas ruling declared the program illegal, impacting only Texas beneficiaries. While nationwide DACA protections remain, concerns grow over the potential for new applications being stalled and renewed anti-immigration policies threatening deportation. The lingering legal status leaves many feeling anxious about their futures and livelihoods.
"DACA has allowed one million children who came to the U.S. illegally to stay, but its future remains uncertain amid legal challenges and political threats."
"The Fifth Circuit Court ruled DACA illegal in Texas, threatening work permits for local beneficiaries but allowing others nationwide to continue as before."
