The DACA program was started when on November 20, 2014 President Obama issued an Executive Order.

There was no Executive Order. There was no Presidential Memorandum, There was speech, televised live, on November 20, 2014. In the speech, he said:

Now here’s the thing: We expect people who live in this country to play by the rules. We expect that those who cut the line will not be unfairly rewarded. So we’re going to offer the following deal: If you’ve been in America for more than five years; if you have children who are American citizens or legal residents; if you register, pass a criminal background check, and you’re willing to pay your fair share of taxes -- you’ll be able to apply to stay in this country temporarily without fear of deportation. You can come out of the shadows and get right with the law. That’s what this deal is.

He left it to Janet Reno to issue a policy memorandum. That's much like the "Dear Colleague" memo issued by the Office for Civil Rights told to more than 7,000 colleges, saying to use a lower standard of evidence in Title IX case. Completely extra-legal.
