DACA: FAQs, Supreme Court Case Summary & Practice Update

The ILRC has produced three new DACA resources. We will continue to prepare updates, practice advisories, and community resources for whatever future changes may impact the program. For now, we need to be clear on the facts, as we best understand them, so that practitioners and program beneficiaries alike are on the same page. Please feel free to download and share these resources.

Thanks to our partners at the National Immigration Law Center (NILC) for partnering with us to create the first two resources listed below.
