DACA: Trump administration announces end of immigration protection program for ‘dreamers’ President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that his administration will end an Obama-era program that offers some protection to thousands of young undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children. But he will give lawmakers six months to act first, effectively punting the fate of so-called Dreamers into the hands of Congress.

TRUMP TWEETS: - Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump 10h10 hours ago Congress now has 6 months to legalize DACA (something the Obama Administration was unable to do). If they can't, I will revisit this issue!

  • Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump 14h14 hours ago I look forward to working w/ D's + R's in Congress to address immigration reform in a way that puts hardworking citizens of our country 1st.
