Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, DACA, is a policy that prevents the federal government from deporting people who came to the U.S. as children. President Barack Obama announced the policy on June 15, 2012. DACA allows some people to apply for deferred action for a period of two years. Deferred action means delaying deportation. If an immigrant is granted deferred action, then they can potentially receive an employment authorization document.
