De facto means "in fact" or "in reality," even though it may not be officially recognized. It is often used to describe something that exists in practice but not necessarily by law. The term comes from Latin, where "de facto" translates to "concerning fact."
De jure means decided by law, and de facto is decided by 'fact' or, 'real life'. When you decide not to wear a jacket when it rains, no policeman will arrest you and have you tried and a judge sentence to 'be cold'; that is a 'de facto' result of your decision.

De jure discrimination refers to discrimination that is mandated by law, such as racial segregation policies in the past. De facto discrimination refers to discrimination that exists in practice, even if not specifically mandated by law, such as racial disparities in education or employment. Examples of public policies designed to address de jure discrimination include civil rights legislation, while policies to address de facto discrimination may include affirmative action programs.
A de facto arrest occurs when a person is not officially arrested or detained by law enforcement, but the circumstances and actions taken by authorities make it clear that the individual is not free to leave. This can happen when a person is detained without being formally arrested, such as during a stop and frisk or when being held for questioning.
De facto segregation is a law requiring specific segregation practices. At one time, there were laws saying that black and white races had to use different restroom facilities. Du jour segregation is general or common practice among people regarding segregation. The club scene has different ethnic patrons going to different clubs.
De Facto
The word "de facto" is of Latin origin. It translates to "in fact" in English and is used to refer to something that exists or is done in practice, even if not necessarily recognized formally.
jure power = legislation ;facto power=justice

If something is de facto it means it is a reality, a fact of life, even if not approved in law (de jure).eg: Kosovo exists as a de facto country because, de jure, it is still part of Serbia.eg de jure one cannot park one's car on the pavement but de facto everyone does.
de facto means 'concerning fact' or 'in reality'. So de jure (concerning law) equality would mean equality in law (but not necessarily in fact) and de facto equality would mean equality in practice. A good real life example is race relations in the US. The 1965 Civil Rights Act ended de jure discrimination and inequality in America, but de facto discrimination and inequality persisted.
The English meaning of the Latin phrase 'de facto' is 'in' ['de'] 'fact' ['facto']. So the phrase 'de facto capital of the Caliphate' means the city that in fact serves as the capital city. The English meaning of the Latin phrase 'de jure' is 'in' ['de'] 'law' ['jure']. In this example, the city that the law recognizes as the capital isn't the city that actually fills the role.
The words translate to mean 'in reality'. In this case it means existing but not legally recognised. For example, you may say he was Prime Minister, but de facto president of the country
Irates de facto was created in 1980.
Since the President resigned, the Vice President became the de facto President. In the sentence, de facto is expressing a fact.
