President Joe Biden will host an event at the White House next week to celebrate the 12th anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, also known as "dreamers." The initiative was created in 2012 by then-President Barack Obama to protect young immigrants who lacked legal status, often known as "dreamers."

The announcement, reported by AP, comes at a critical time for the Biden administration's immigration policy as he prepares potential new benefits for undocumented individuals with longstanding ties to the United States, including a policy that would protect undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens from deportation and allow them to work legally in the country.
