President Donald Trump has decided to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, sources have confirmed.
Two sources close to the president told Politico on Sunday that he made his decision after an afternoon meeting with his aides.
DACA is an Obama-era initiative that grants work permits to more than 800,000 undocumented immigrants who were brought to the country by family members as children.
Ending it is likely to spark fury towards the White House on either side of the aisle, and Trump and his aides worked through the afternoon to decide how to best announce the controversial decision to avoid this, sources explained.
The official announcement regarding the decision is expected to come Tuesday.
The White House has been making up its mind on whether or not to get rid of the program since the inauguration.
Trump had railed against the Obama program during the presidential campaign, slamming it as an illegal ‘amnesty’ that he would immediately end.
Though ending DACA was one of his campaign promises, there were moments it looked like he would not address the program because of its popularity.
On Friday he suggested he might not end the program, saying: ‘We love the Dreamers. We love everybody.’
Multiple members of Trump’s party warned him not to scrap it.
