Donald Trump To End ‘Dreamers’ Immigration Program

Donald Trump has not made a final decision on the fate of nearly 800,000 young undocumented migrants, the White House said Thursday, after reports said the president was poised to end protections for so-called “Dreamers” as early as Friday.

The president has been weighing the fate of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca), the 2012 Obama policy that lifted the threat of deportation for immigrants who were brought to the US before they were 16.

Trump has faced pressure from the right to end the program, which conservatives have argued is unconstitutional and sought to challenge in the courts.

On Thursday, reporting by Fox News and Reuters said the president was ready to announce the phasing out of the program in its current form.
