The Importance of DACA Renewal

Renewing your Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status in 2022 is crucial for those who are eligible. DACA provides temporary relief from deportation and work authorization for young undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children.

As an initiative established in 2012, DACA has positively impacted the lives of thousands of individuals, allowing them to pursue higher education, secure employment, and contribute to their communities. By renewing your DACA, you can continue to enjoy these benefits and protect your immigration status.
