How Charter Schools Can (and Should) Engage, Empower and Serve Undocumented Families
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, provides relief to children brought to the United States illegally. DACA, announced on June 15, 2012, allows those who came to the U.S. as children to request consideration of deferred action for two years and allows eligibility for legally working in America. Two years after DACA, President Barack Obama expanded the DACA program to parents through executive order, creating the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans or DAPA, which allows parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents to remain in U.S.. Both DAPA and DACA will be decided in June by the United State Supreme Court.
