Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)

Benach Collopy has been involved in efforts to obtain immigration benefits for DREAMers for several years. Benach represented Walter Lara, one of the first DREAMers to obtain deferred action and whose case became a model of legal strategy and activism that has come to define the DREAMer cause. Benach Collopy obtained deferred action for dozens of DREAMers before DACA was announced and for many more dozens since DACA was enacted.
