CAN I APPLY FOR DACA?

Did DACA change? Yes, it did! On Friday, December 4, 2020, Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis of the U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, ordered USCIS  to allow newly eligible immigrants to file new applications under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

WHAT IF I NEVER APPLIED FOR DACA IN THE FIRST PLACE?

This order reverses a memorandum issued in the summer by Chad Wolf, the acting secretary of Homeland Security, which restricted DACA to people who were already enrolled. The Trump administration could still appeal the decision, but as the order stands, USCIS must issue guidance for filing by Monday, December 7, 2020.
