The data seems to be authentic and compiled by Rebecca S. Carson, USCIS Chief of Staff, but I can't find it published anywhere other than the anti-immigrant website. It seems like it was internal and perhaps intercepted and passed along to Mark Krikorian, the Center for Immigration Studies' director. He and his "non-partisan research center" claims to be pro-immigrant but for low-immigration.

On his little blog accompanying the published data, that bigot and hypocrite Krikorian labels DACA as "Obama's illegal DACA amnesty" and seems fixated on pointing out that no one has been denied, despite the very data clearly enumerating the number of people who's applications have been rejected. He believes that nothing will happen to those who are rejected and as such thinks applicants will be prone to fraud.

His website categorizes Deferred Action as Adminstrative Amnesty, and he is staunchly anti-DREAM Act, anti-DACA, anti-Obama, and anti-Immigrant.

To data, the only publicly released DACA data can be found on the USCIS website for the period August 15th to September 13th.
