DACA affects undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children who received deferred removal and work authorization. The case mattered to DACA recipients, their families, schools, and employers that relied on the program.

The Supreme Court has finished this docket action. Any further dispute over DACA would have to come through later government action or separate litigation.
