The President of The United States decided today to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory released this statement:

"It is profoundly regrettable that the Administration has decided to prolong an uncertain future for nearly one million young people who have come to the United States of America as children from many different nations, and who have fully and freely cooperated with the federal government’s requirements to be registered under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Executive Order. In choosing to rescind DACA, the President has chosen to ignore the opinions of a large majority of Americans who support its continuation."
