"If you need to renew your Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA),the Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman (CIS Ombudsman) encourages you to file your DACA renewal request as early as possible." That is the sense of urgency conveyed by the agency in a document posted in the Homeland Security website.
First established by the Obama administration in 2012, DACA has granted deportation protection and temporary two-year work permits to approximately 600,000 "Dreamers," undocumented young people who arrived in the U.S. before the age of 16.
