Trump expected end program young immigrants
You're referring to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which was introduced by the Obama administration in 2012. DACA allowed certain young immigrants who were brought to the United States as children to temporarily stay in the country and work legally, without fear of deportation.
In September 2017, President Trump announced that he would be ending the DACA program, effective March 5, 2018. This decision was met with widespread criticism and opposition from many Democrats, Republicans, and advocacy groups, who argued that the program was a vital part of the country's immigration system and that ending it would cause harm to the young people who were protected by it.
The Trump administration's decision to end DACA was based on the argument that the program was an overreach of executive authority and that it was not a lawful exercise of the president's power. The administration also argued that the program was not a permanent solution to the issue of undocumented immigration and that it was not a viable way to address the root causes of the problem.
However, many legal experts and advocates disagreed with the administration's decision, arguing that it was a cruel and heartless move that would cause harm to thousands of young people who were brought to the United States as children and who had built their lives here. They also argued that the program was a vital part of the country's immigration system and that ending it would cause chaos and uncertainty for many families.
In the months that followed, Congress failed to pass a bill that would have protected the DACA program and provided a pathway to citizenship for the young immigrants who were protected by it. As a result, many DACA recipients, known as "Dreamers," were left in limbo, facing the possibility of deportation and the loss of their legal status.
In June 2018, a federal judge in California blocked the Trump administration's plan to end the DACA program, ruling that the administration's decision was unlawful and that the program would continue to operate. However, the Trump administration appealed the ruling, and the case is still pending in the courts.
In the meantime, many DACA recipients continue to live in fear of deportation and are working to find a way to stay in the United States legally. The issue remains a highly controversial and divisive one, with many people on both sides of the political spectrum having strong opinions about the best way to address the issue of undocumented immigration.
