  • It specifies that individuals who meet the requirements for deferred action under the 2022 final rule shall not be subject to certain other paragraphs of the Act.

  • It clarifies that this rule does not prevent the termination of deferred action for criminal conduct that would make an individual ineligible under the described policies or regulations.
