Are you a DACA participant? Tell us what you think of Trump’s decision to end the program
Donald Trump’s decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, better known as DACA, comes after months of will-he-or-won’t-he speculation.
The Obama-era program has protected more than 790,000 immigrants from deportation, many who define themselves as “dreamers.†On the campaign trail, Trump insisted that he would end DACA, but his stance has been less rigid since he became president. On Monday, the Trump administration announced plans to start phasing out the program in March, unless Congress takes action before.
