President Biden and first lady Jill Biden are hosting a White House event marking the 12th anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which can shield undocumented migrants who came to the U.S. as children from deportation.

The Biden campaign has recently released an ad highlighting individuals who have benefited from the program. The campaign seeks to draw a contrast with the policies of former President Trump, which it characterizes as broadly hostile toward those who attempt to cross the border.

The occasion coincides with the White House’s announcement of a related expansion in opportunities for migrants such as undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens.

The event is scheduled to begin at 2:45 p.m. EDT.
