President Donald Trump has decided to end the Obama-era
program that grants work permits to undocumented immigrants who arrived
in the country as children, according to two sources familiar with his
thinking. Senior White House aides huddled Sunday afternoon to discuss
the rollout of a decision likely to ignite a political firestorm — and
fulfill one of the president’s core campaign promises.
The administration’s deliberations on the issue have been
fluid and fast moving, and the president has faced strong warnings from
members of his own party not to scrap the program.
Trump has wrestled for months with whether to do away with
the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, known as DACA. But
conversations with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who argued that
Congress — rather than the executive branch — is responsible for writing
immigration law, helped persuade the president to terminate the program
and kick the issue to Congress, the two sources said.
