On September 5, 2017, President Trump announced the wind-down of DACA. According to the White House, “this is a gradual process, not a sudden phase out”. USCIS has rescinded the June 15, 2012 DACA Memorandum. Below are a few pertinent points on the rescission.

1. New applications for work permits will not be accepted after September 5, 2017.
2. All existing work permits will be honored until their date of expiration up to two full years from September 5, 2017.
3. Applications already in the pipeline will be processed.
