All new applications to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program will be rejected, under a new memo issued July 28 by acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf.

DACA is a highly controversial program that shields from deportation hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children. It was created through an executive order by then-President Barack Obama in 2012.
