On June 15, 2017, the Secretary of Homeland Security announced that it was rescinding the November 20, 2014 memorandum that created the program known as Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (“DAPA”). DAPA provided a path for undocumented parents of children who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to be considered for deferred action if they met several guidelines. DAPA would have granted these parents deferred action for a period of three years, subject to renewal. They would have also been eligible for work authorization.
