DACA Developments: Employer Strategies for Potential Termination in Texas and Expansion Elsewhere

Immigration policy continues to be a key focus of the current administration. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, established in 2012 to provide immigration benefits to undocumented persons brought to the United States as children, is set to resume nationwide. However, this resumption does not include Texas, where approximately 90,000 DACA recipients live and work. A final ruling on the future of DACA in Texas is expected soon, following a legal challenge brought in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. If the ruling is unfavorable, these 90,000 workers may lose their work authorization and other protections under DACA. Join this webinar to learn how to prepare for the potential termination of DACA in Texas and assist employees whose DACA work authorization is expiring, all while ensuring compliance with federal efforts to combat anti-American bias in the workplace.
