Under the Deferred Action for Labor Enforcement program, people in the U.S. illegally who work at companies under investigation for workplace violations can receive permission to work in the country for four years .

The program is intended to encourage undocumented workers to cooperate with investigations into safety violations, employment abuses and other issues without fear their immigration status will be used against them.

With time running out, aid groups are ending their registration efforts.

A worker who immigrated to the U.S. from El Salvador with his family when he was 10 years old had been reluctant to apply to DALE because of fears of reprisals if he spoke out about the staffing agency.

He was among many workers at the clinic employed by BaronHR. Until the firm collapsed, workers the firm employed were often underpaid and working in unsafe conditions.
