"There are three categories of DACA citizenship status: 1) Deferred action for childhood arrivals (DACA) is an immigration policy that allows some people who entered the United States illegally as children to receive a two-year renewable period of deferred action from deportation and to be eligible for a work permit. 2) Temporary protected status (TPS) is a designation given by the United States Secretary of Homeland Security to foreign nationals already in the United States who cannot be deported because it would result in hardship to their country of origin and allows them to remain and work in the United States. 3) Legal permanent residence, also known as a green card, is the most common type of lawful permanent resident status in the United States."

It is essentially a work permit for people who came to the USA undocumented at a young age brought by their parents. DACA holders have been granted legal work status and a stay for deportation for X amount of years. During which, DACA holders can apply for green cards through employment or family.
