ICE Is Detaining DACA Recipients. It’s Growing Harder for Them to Get Out.

Under the current enforcement approach, DACA recipients are increasingly being detained and even deported, despite previously being considered a low priority for removal. It highlights that the administration views DACA recipients as deportable like any other undocumented immigrant, leading to a rise in arrests—including individuals with no criminal history or with active or pending DACA status. The article notes that dozens of legal challenges have been filed contesting these detentions, arguing they violate existing protections and due process. It also emphasizes the broader impact: many DACA recipients had trusted the government with personal information under assurances of protection, and this shift in enforcement is eroding that trust while creating fear and instability among long-term residents who have built lives in the United States.
