Trump has made it even clearer that the Obama-era is long gone. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) has been shot down by Trump and was not defended by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. This means any adult who immigrated illegally to the U.S. as a child will face loss of work permits and deportation. But there is a six-month window period for Congress to act before some 800,000 young adults are affected.
