Trump rescinds DACA, threatening 800,000 Dreamers with deportation

Trump announced the rescission of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), threatening nearly 800,000 young undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children with deportation. Trump called DACA 'unconstitutional' despite campaigning with promises of having 'great heart' for Dreamers. The decision was widely condemned as cruel and politically motivated. Federal courts later blocked the rescission, finding Trump's rationale inadequate. This betrayed his campaign promises and showed his willingness to use vulnerable immigrants as political pawns.
