Protecting DACA Participant Data: Enhanced Privacy and Security.

This act aims to protect the personal information of individuals under the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program. This means that information submitted in DACA applications will be shielded from disclosure to immigration agencies and law enforcement, except in strictly defined circumstances. As a result, program participants can feel more secure knowing their data will not be used against them in matters unrelated to the program.
Key points
Personal data of DACA participants will be protected from disclosure to immigration agencies (ICE, CBP) and state, local, and tribal law enforcement.
Individuals under the DACA program will not be referred to immigration agencies or other law enforcement due to their immigration status.
Exceptions to data protection include cases of fraud, national security concerns related to a specific application, and investigations of serious felonies unrelated to immigration status.
