As the Trump administration continues to pursue large-scale deportations, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients face a heightened risk of detention and placement into removal proceedings. Many are now being deported without cause.
DACA is an Obama-era program that has shielded hundreds of thousands of people from deportation since 2012 if they were brought to the United States as children and generally stayed out of trouble. The program, however, does not offer a path to citizenship.
DACA recipients are required to renew their status every two years, a process that includes background checks. Those protections can be revoked if a recipient is convicted of a felony or certain serious misdemeanors.
Advocates and immigrants are pushing for more permanent protections. Among those efforts is the bipartisan Dream Act of 2025, introduced in the Senate last week.
The bill would provide Dreamers with a pathway to legal status if they meet specific eligibility requirements.
