Trump Ends DACA, Puts 700,000 'Dreamers' at Risk
Attorney General Jeff Sessions announces the administration is rescinding DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), the Obama-era program protecting ~700,000 undocumented immigrants who arrived as children. Trump gives Congress 6 months to act. Multiple courts later block the rescission; DACA remains in legal limbo for years. The Supreme Court ruled against the rescission in 2020.
