US confirms young immigrants program will be phased out
The Trump administration announces that it will wind down a program protecting young immigrants from deportation.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions calls the program, known as DACA, an “unconstitutional exercise of authority by the executive branch.”
He says the Trump administration is urging Congress to find an alternate way to protect young immigrants brought into the country illegally as children.
Sessions says the US needs to have a lawful immigration policy that “serves the national interest” and the US cannot admit everyone who wants to come to the country.
