Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Data Tools
Learn about participation in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program nationally and by state, as well as by top countries of origin. The two data tools offered here provide U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) data on active DACA recipients at U.S. and state levels as of June 30, 2019, as well as the Migration Policy Institute’s 2019 estimates of individuals who would have been eligible to participate based on the criteria outlined at the program’s launch in 2012. In September 2017, the Trump administration announced the termination of DACA, but courts have kept the program alive for people who currently have or have ever held DACA status. MPI offers its estimates to permit comparison of current DACA recipients against the number that ever could have applied under the program’s original rules.
The first tool offers the number of active DACA recipients and MPI estimates at U.S. and state levels. The second tool offers data for top countries of origin. Hover over a state or country to see the data.
