This bill, titled the "Protect DREAMer Confidentiality Act of 2025," establishes strict confidentiality protections for information submitted by individuals applying for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program . It mandates that the Secretary of Homeland Security safeguard all individual application information , including personally identifiable data, from disclosure to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), or any State, local, or Tribal law enforcement agency, ensuring its use is solely for DACA program implementation. The legislation further prohibits the Secretary from referring any DACA-deferred individual to ICE, CBP, the Department of Justice, or other law enforcement agencies. However, limited exceptions allow information sharing with national security and law enforcement agencies to identify or prevent fraudulent claims, for particularized national security purposes, or for the investigation and prosecution of felonies unrelated to immigration status.
