Donald Trump To Scrap DAPA Obama-era Policy
The Trump administration promulgate that it is Scrapping an Obama-era policy to allow millions of illegal-immigrant parents of children born in the United States to stay in the country on Thursday.
2014 policy, which also known as
DAPA, for Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, aimed to help the families of so-called “dreamer” children stay together free from the threat of deportation.
It was never implemented after 26 states successfully sued in a Texas federal district court to block it. The US Supreme Court let the lower court ruling stand last year after a four-four tie vote.
Set out in a memo from the administration of then-president Barack Obama, the policy said the government would defer any action against illegal immigrant parents of children who are lawful permanent residents — mainly those born in the country to parents without legal status.
