DACA to Remain for Now, DAPA Officially Rescinded

On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officially rescinded the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) policy that was issued by the Obama Administration in 2014 but blocked by a federal court later that year before it could be implemented.  In the same memo that repealed DAPA, the Administration stated that it will keep in place for now the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

A press release about the DACA and DAPA announcement is available here and a fact sheet about the announcement from DHS is available here.
