DACA Renewals and Immigration Reform

The new Administration has mandated a temporary freeze on deportations for 100 days starting on January 20, 2021. Please see news about the ICE Memo here. The memo is also downloadable below. Be advised that this moratorium has been challenged by a federal judge in the state of Texas and is currently on pause.

With the new Administration, an immigration reform bill has been announced. Please see the bill attached below. Stay tuned for any updates.

On January 20, 2021, the Biden Administration announced the preservation of the DACA program. After many years of uncertainty, this announcement means that  DACA recipients already in the program can file renewals.

The Biden Administration also introduced a Bill to Congress to further enhance the DACA program and possibly create a pathway towards lawful permanent residence status and US citizenship. Please understand that this is currently only a proposal and not law. Therefore, it is important to stay informed while first proceeding with a DACA application.
