Supreme Court Stops Trump from Ending DACA, the Obama-Era Immigration Protection Program

The Post reported that more than 90 percent of DACA recipients are employed, with nearly 30,000 "dreamers" working in the health care industry during the novel coronavirus pandemic.

In September 2017, protests erupted across the country after then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that Trump's administration would be ending DACA.

Demonstrators — including some immigrants who had entered the country illegally — were reportedly arrested at Trump Tower in New York City as hundreds of local immigrants and advocates descended on the president’s midtown Manhattan residence and business headquarters in outcry over the attempted repeal of DACA.

Some of the protesters had staged a sit-in in the middle of the street and were arrested after they blocked traffic at a busy intersection on Fifth Avenue, according to reporters on the scene who posted on social media.

Elsewhere in the country, protesters mobilized to voice their disapproval of Trump’s decision including in front of the White House, in Los Angeles, and at Trump Plaza in West Palm Beach, Florida.
