DACA or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals is a directive to the Department of Homeland Security from the government to exercise prosecutorial discretion when deporting or prosecuting foreigners who are in the US illegally. In a bid to revamp the immigration system to one that focuses more on protecting Americans and the country’s borders, the Department of Homeland security (DHS) has been given the power to remove or delay removal of illegal immigrants depending on how they got into the country.
