Starting this month, those who qualify under the expansion of a program known as DACA can apply for immigration relief.

The February 18 date will be for those who qualify under the program known as DACA, or deferred action for childhood arrivals, an expanded program for those who came to the U.S. as minors. California has the largest share of immigrants who could qualify.
