On June 15, 2012, DHS established the DACA policy. The policy directed USCIS to create a process to defer removal of certain noncitizens who years earlier came to the United States as children, meet other criteria, and do not present other circumstances that would warrant removal. On January 20, 2021, President Biden directed DHS, to take all appropriate actions to preserve and fortify DACA, consistent with applicable law. Consistent with the Presidential Memorandum, DHS published a notice of proposed rulemaking on September 28, 2021, to consider all issues regarding DACA, including those identified by the district court relating to the policy’s substantive legality. After careful consideration of the public comments, DHS issued a final rule on August 30, 2022.
