The fate of up to 800,000 children of immigrants could be affected this week when the Supreme Court considers the fate of the federal DACA program.
DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, allows so-called “Dreamers”, or children of illegal immigrants who arrived in the U.S. prior to 2007 to remain here without being deported.
The Trump administration has declared the DACA program to be illegal, and the Supreme Court is set to begin hearing arguments on Tuesday.
A decision on the program isn’t expected until 2020 at the earliest.
