Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a United States immigration policy that allows some individuals with unlawful presence in the United States after being brought to the country as children to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and become eligible for a work permit.
However, a recent court ruling means that thousands of Jamaicans living in the United States since they were children could now face deportation.
So how does the changes to the immigration policy affect Jamaican-born living in the United States?
How can they protect themselves?
Mrs. Tremaine L. Hemans, Esq., Immigration Attorney, The Hemans Law Group, P.A, and Odell M. Wahrmann, ESQ. Attorney, The Wahrmann Law P.A, joined our CVM Live Panel Discussion to share on the ruling and the implications for Jamaican’s seeking to live in the United States.
