What policy governs "Deferred Action" under ERO?

• A. Deferred Action for Health Care Workers (DAHCW)
• B. Deferred Action for Special Exceptions (DASE)
• C. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
• D. Deferred Action for Economic Stability (DAES)

Answer: (C)

The correct answer is "Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)" because DACA is a specific policy implemented to provide deferred action from deportation for certain individuals who came to the United States as children. This program allows eligible young undocumented immigrants to apply for work permits and grants them protection from removal from the U.S. for a renewable two-year period, provided they meet specific criteria.

DACA was established in 2012 and is part of the broader effort to address the status of young immigrants who have been raised in the U.S. but do not have legal status. The policy reflects a recognition of the unique circumstances faced by these individuals, many of whom have had little to no experience living in their countries of origin.

The other options do not relate directly to the policy of Deferred Action as it is most widely recognized under ERO. While there may be various proposals or programs associated with deferred action concepts, DACA remains the primary and most significant initiative related to this context.
