# Obama announces Deferred Action for Parents of Americans as an expansion attempt Date: 2014 ## The fact On 20 November 2014 President Obama announced Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and an expansion of DACA. Jeh Johnson issued DHS memos. A nationwide injunction and a later 4–4 are stored on a separate row. ## Context DACA 2012 sat as parent. Neighbouring court block 2016 is a child. He did not sit as a Texas district judge. DACA 15 June 2012 is the parent. DAPA blocked 23 June 2016 is the child court file. A United States president proposes, signs, vetoes, and directs the executive. Congress enacts statutes. The Federal Reserve, states, courts, and later presidents share later series. Office-holding is not authorship of every later outcome. Allegation is not a completed judgment. Legislative achievements require shared congressional attribution. He does not set the federal funds rate, write a state Medicaid waiver by himself, or convert a 2009 oath into a unique 2016 uninsured coefficient. A signature is not unique authorship of a House and Senate text. A troop order is not authorship of every later round. He is not president as of 27 August 2026. [Donald Trump](/people/mig-donald-trump) is president from 20 January 2025. [Joe Biden](/people/env-person-joe-biden) was president 2021–2025. ## Evidence and sources White House (archives) carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently. ## Significance The path is [protection of minority rights](/drivers/protection-of-minority-rights): a completed parental-forbearance attempt, remaining later injunction named. ## What is established and what is not Established: 20 November 2014 announcement and DHS memos, independently reported. Not established: that DAPA uniquely granted work authorisation nationwide — courts stopped it — or a unique later citizenship print. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. DHS drafted. Courts later enjoined.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Obama announces Deferred Action for Parents of Americans as an expansion attempt, not a later speech about Obama announces Deferred Action for Parents of Americans as an expansion attempt. Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Obama announces Deferred Action for Parents of Americans as an expansion attempt on 2014-11-20 is not a licence to treat every later White House (archives) communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Obama announces Deferred Action for Parents of Americans as an expansion attempt into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He announced and owned the memos. DHS drafted. Courts later enjoined. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. ## People - Barack Obama: https://factrail.ai/people/barack-obama ## Drivers - Protection of Minority Rights: https://factrail.ai/drivers/protection-of-minority-rights - Migration-policy restrictiveness and border control: https://factrail.ai/drivers/mig-policy-restrictiveness ## Sources - https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-idUSKCN0J40Q220141120 - https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2014/11/20/remarks-president-address-nation-immigration ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/us-obama-dapa-2014
