    Are DACA's days numbered?

    Barack Obama created the program for "Dreamers" — 800,000 people brought to this country illegally before the age of 16. His Delayed Action for Childhood Arrivals program protects them from deportation if they attend school, join the military and have not committed a serious crime. They even have work permits.

    Barack Obama created the program for "Dreamers" — 800,000 people brought to this country illegally before the age of 16. His Delayed Action for Childhood Arrivals program protects them from deportation if they attend school, join the military and have not committed a serious crime. They even have work permits. President Trump has until next Tuesday to end the program… and, if he doesn't, federal courts may do it for him, as we hear from Alan Gomez, who reports on immigration for USA Today.
