Excellent- More about Legal Phantoms: Executive Action and the Haunting Failures of Immigration Law
The 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was intended to be a stepping stone to broader immigration reform, but it has been fraught with challenges and unfulfilled promises. Legal Phantoms explores the stories of those affected by failed immigration-reform efforts and how they are finding their own paths forward through uncharted legal territory.

The 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, unveiled by the White House, aimed to exert pressure on Congress to enact comprehensive legislative reforms. However, these changes never materialized, leaving DACA beneficiaries to navigate a complex and ever-changing policy landscape. Legal Phantoms delves into the stories of these individuals, who have been haunted by unfulfilled promises.
Following Congress' inability to pass a comprehensive immigration bill in 2013, President Obama took a different approach in 2014. He supplemented DACA with a deferred action program (DAPA) for the parents of citizens and lawful permanent residents and expanded DACA (DACA+) to include certain individuals who had entered the country as minors. However, challenges from Republican-led states hindered the implementation of these programs. Interviews with prospective applicants, immigrant-rights advocates, and government officials shed light on the ongoing impact of these failed immigration-reform efforts, not only on the intended beneficiaries but also on their families, communities, and the country they have called home.
Amidst the ashes of these dashed hopes, individuals find their way forward by exploring uncharted legal territories, employing creativity, and displaying resilience. They refuse to be defined by the limitations imposed by failed policies and instead forge their paths toward a better future. Legal Phantoms serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who have faced adversity and continue to strive for a more inclusive and equitable society.
