New York City March Held Ahead of President Trump's DACA Decision
Thousands are marching in New York City Wednesday to defend DACA following reports that President Donald Trump may soon announce the end to protections for 800,000 young immigrants in the United States.
Organizers say the protesters came together for a mass march to insist on dignity and justice for immigrant communities.
Advocates on both sides of the issue are bracing for the possibility that Trump will halt the issuance of new work permits under DACA, a move that would effectively phase out a program that gave hundreds of thousands of young people a reprieve from deportation and the ability to work legally in the U.S. . .
