IMPORTANT
Question: What will happen to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) under the new presidential administration?
Answer: Right now, the answer is unclear. The current president said that he might end the program, but has not indicated what action, if any, he plans to take against DACA applicants and recipients if he does. But, most immigrant rights groups agree that first-time DACA applicants should wait to file their applications until there is more information about the President’s intentions. People renewing their DACA status can still apply, but should understand that they may lose their filing fees if the program is rescinded.
