S.2350 Cosponsored — A bill to provide for the confidentiality of information submitted in requests for deferred action under the deferred action for childhood arrivals program, and for other purposes.

Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov identifies S.Amdt.1955 as submitted by Sen. Coons, for himself and Sen. McCain. The amendment included a section on confidentiality barring use or disclosure of information in DACA requests for immigration enforcement, with limited exceptions.
The Senate roll call for cloture on S.Amdt.1955 shows the motion was rejected, 52-47, and lists Coons (D-DE) voting Yea.
Congress.gov lists S.2350 as the Protect DREAMer Confidentiality Act of 2025 and shows Sen. Coons added as a cosponsor on July 21, 2025. The bill remained at introduced/referred-to-committee status.
The introduced bill text states that S.2350 would protect DACA application information from disclosure to ICE, CBP, or law enforcement except for specified purposes.
Assessments
The promise was to introduce and support legislation providing confidentiality for DACA deferred-action request information, not necessarily to secure enactment. Coons submitted S.Amdt.1955 in 2018 with DACA request confidentiality protections and voted to advance it, directly satisfying the introduce/support commitment during his Senate term. His 2025 cosponsorship of similar standalone legislation further supports continued action, but the 2018 amendment is enough for delivery.
