On July 5, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program could remain in place, allowing hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children to continue to reside and work legally in the country.
DACA was instituted in 2012 under President Barack Obama and was designed to protect certain young immigrants from deportation while they pursued education and employment.
The Supreme Court's decision was celebrated by activists and supporters, who viewed the ruling as a significant victory for immigrant rights and protection against deportation.
The ruling had far-reaching implications, ensuring that DACA recipients could continue contributing to their communities and economies, bringing hope to many families.
