White House Clarification: No Decision on How to Replace DACA Has Been Made

Yesterday, Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly announced the Obama-era immigration policy called Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) was rescinded. This program ran in tandem with the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Its purpose was to prevent the deportation of the illegal parents of American citizens and resident aliens. DAPA was challenged in court and never implemented. Kelly’s memo simply recognized the legal indefensibility of DAPA.
