Answer:

No, as a recipient of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), you are not prevented from claiming the Child Tax Credit. If you and your child satisfy all eligibility requirements, you can claim your child for the Child Tax Credit. Having DACA does not affect your eligibility for this credit.
