On or about June 15, 2012, the President of the United States, President Obama, issued Executive Action called DACA. DACA stands for “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals”. On November 20, 2014 President Obama issued another Executive Action that expanded DACA and also established Deferred Action for Parents of United States Citizens and permanent residents.

The idea was to prevent low priority individuals from being placed in removal proceedings or removed from the United States.
