Protect DREAMer Confidentiality Act of 2025

The Protect DREAMer Confidentiality Act of 2025 would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to protect all individual information submitted by people applying for or reevaluating Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The bill would prevent sharing or referring this information to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), or any state, local, or tribal law enforcement agency for purposes other than implementing DACA. It creates a narrow set of exceptions allowing limited sharing with national security and law enforcement agencies only to prevent or identify fraudulent claims, for specific national security purposes related to a particular application, or for investigations or prosecutions of felonies that are not tied to immigration status. Definitions clarify what counts as the DACA program and what constitutes “individual application information.” In short, the act tightens privacy protections around DACA-related data and restricts how that data can be shared, with only limited, clearly defined exceptions for security and fraud-related purposes.
