DACA Executive Order – January 20, 2021

This past Wednesday President Biden issued a battery of executive orders addressing several immigration issues.
One executive order specifically mentioned the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. President Biden mandated in that executive order that DACA must be “preserved and fortified”.

What does that mean?

At the very least the DACA program will continue in the original format as instituted in 2012. However, the executive order indicates that DACA has to be “fortified”. That may mean that the qualifying requirements may be altered and changed to allow another group of applicants to be eligible depending on the date of entry and date of physical presence in the U.S. Another change may be made to the requirements for an advance parole document.

We will need to wait for DHS to react in the next few months.
