WASHINGTON _ President Donald Trump is ordering a comprehensive legal review of the immigration program that allows undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children to remain, and will consider winding down the policy after a Supreme Court decision left the door open to its cancellation, a senior administration official said on Tuesday.
Trump plans to "limit the scope" of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA, while that review is underway, the official said.
The Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration's argument for the dismantlement of the program, which has shielded roughly 700,000 immigrants brought to the United States as children, known as "Dreamers," from deportation.
