Reported: USCIS ends program to shield workers reporting abuse

  1. Original Date Announced

    July 17, 2025

    Bloomberg Law reports that USCIS ended a Biden-era program designed to encourage undocumented workers to report labor violations. The Deferred Action for Labor Enforcement (DALE) program had allowed undocumented workers involved in a state or federal labor investigation to apply to USCIS for four years of deferred action from deportation and temporary work authorization. USCIS archived a webpage with information about the program on January 24, and released draft revisions in May for Form G-325A, "Biographic Information (for Deferred Action)," to removed an option for “Labor Investigation-Based” protection. About 7,700 people had been granted deferred action under DALE as of October 2024.
