US keeps effort to shield young immigrants from deportation
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is leaving in place a program
protecting hundreds of thousands young immigrants from deportation — one
that President Donald Trump had pledged to eliminate.
Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly quietly announced the program will
continue at the bottom of a fact sheet released late Thursday declaring the
end to a similar, but never-implemented program intended to shield immigrant
parents of U.S. citizens and legal residents from deportation.
It said the memo creating the program for young immigrants "will remain in
effect" without indicating whether this would be reconsidered in the future.
As a candidate, Trump pledged to "immediately terminate" both programs —
what he called "President Obama's two illegal executive amnesties." Yet as
president, he repeatedly expressed empathy with the young participants in
the program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA.
Many participants — often referred to as "dreamers" — arrived in the
United States as small children and have little recollection of their birth
countries. The program was launched in 2012 and has protected about 787,000
young immigrants from deportation.
The program does not give them residency status, but temporarily protects
them from deportation and allows them to work legally. The protection can be
revoked at any time and some young immigrants have lost their DACA
protections after being arrested for a crime.
The program affecting parents, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans, or
DAPA, was blocked by a federal judge in Texas after 26 states sued.
Republicans saw it as a "backdoor amnesty" and argued that Obama overstepped
his authority by protecting a specific class of immigrants living in the
United States illegally.
That program, like the one for young immigrants, was created with a policy
memo, not by legislation. Both programs required that participants meet
certain conditions, including not having a history of serious crimes.
Trump has made immigration enforcement a top priority and has vowed to
continue a crackdown on those living in the U.S. illegally and those trying
to sneak into the country. Arrests of immigrants inside the U.S. have
increased under the Trump administration, but deportations are slightly down
as fewer people have been caught crossing the Mexican border into the
United States illegally.
But in an Associated Press interview in April, Trump said his administration
is "not after the dreamers, we are after the criminals" and that "The
dreamers should rest easy." | r*******g
