Earlier this week, President Trump rescinded a popular Obama-era executive order that protects young undocumented immigrants from deportation. Known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the program enjoyed broad support since its establishment five years ago. It allowed certain young immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children, through no fault of their own, to remain in the country and work legally without fear of immediate removal. Trump’s controversial decision to end the scheme now thrusts more than 800,000 DACA recipients, referred to as Dreamers, into uncertainty as they face possible deportation.
