Trump Ends DACA Program, No New Applications Accepted
Trump Ends DACA Program, No New Applications Accepted
by Adam Edelman
The Justice Department announced on Tuesday it is ending DACA, while also giving Congress a six-month window to possibly save the Obama-era program that allowed undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children to remain in the country.
Under the plan announced by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the Trump administration will stop considering new applications for legal status dated after Tuesday, but will allow any DACA recipients with a permit set to expire before March 5, 2018, the opportunity to apply for a two-year renewal.
