川普據信將宣佈終止延緩遣返夢想生，有人擬抗議

The White House is expected to announce a decision about Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals on Tuesday, with early media reports indicating the president will end the program that has shielded hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants from deportation for the last five years.

Officials who described the move to journalists said it would come with a six-month delay meant to give Congress time to address the issue. Lawmakers were not involved in instituting the program, which was created through an executive order by former President Barack Obama.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is scheduled to give a briefing addressing DACA, but the Justice Department says he will not be answering reporters' questions. Trump's public schedule Tuesday does not include anything related to the program.

A protest is planned in front of the White House Tuesday morning in support of DACA and its recipients -- some 800,000 people across the country, brought to the United States as children. Demonstrations are also expected in other cities across the United States.

President Donald Trump came into office with a promise to eliminate DACA, but at times seems to ease up on that rhetoric; since his inauguration, however, the president has prioritized bolstering the country's deportation system, calling for thousands more immigration and border agents to be hired.

"DACA is not legislation, it's executive action and the president could rightfully abandon it altogether or piece by piece," explains David Abraham, professor of immigration and citizenship law at the University of Miami School of Law.

Unclear Monday was what would happen if Congress did not take any action before the six-month window ended, or what happens to someone whose work permit comes up for renewal during that period.

Ahead of the administration's announcement, the states of New York and Washington said if Trump does end DACA, they will challenge the decision in court.

"We should not and cannot sit on the sidelines and watch the lives of these young people ruined," New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said in a statement. "We have both a legal and moral obligation to make sure that the laws are faithfully executed without discrimination or animus."

House Speaker Paul Ryan and several other Republican lawmakers are urging the president not to cancel the program. Ryan says he believes Congress should come up with a way of protecting people now in the DACA program.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi has asked Ryan to work with Democrats this week to find a legislative solution for the people sometimes referred to as "Dreamers."

There are DACA supporters on both sides of the political aisle in the United States, but key members of Trump's inner circle - including Attorney General Sessions - and many Republican members of Congress are vocal opponents who have criticized the program's creation as executive overreach.

The Obama administration began the program in 2012 to allow young undocumented immigrants who met the requirements to lawfully remain in the country to work and study, in a semi-legal status that has to be renewed every two years. It does not provide a path to citizenship, however.

The majority of DACA-eligible people are from Mexico, followed by Guatemala, El Salvador, South Korea, Honduras, and China.白宮預計將在星期二就是否延續《童年入境者暫緩遣返行動》(DACA)宣佈決定。這個由前總統奧巴馬制定的項目在過去五年內暫停遣返了好幾十萬被稱爲“夢想生”的年輕無證移民。媒體初步的報道顯示，川普總統將終止這一項目。

有關官員對媒體描述了川普總統將要採取的措施。他們說，川普將廢止這一項目，但延期六個月執行，好給國會時間來解決這一問題。這一項目是前總統奧巴馬以行政令的方式啓動的，國會議員沒有參與。

美國司法部長塞申斯計劃就此事召開記者會，但是司法部說，塞申斯不會回答記者提問。川普總統星期二公開的日程安排不包括跟這一項目有關的內容。

有人計劃星期二在白宮前抗議，聲援DACA項目及其受益人。在全美各地有大約80萬“夢想生”，他們是在年幼的時候被帶入美國的。預計美國其它城市也會有示威活動。

川普總統上任前就允諾要廢除DACA，不過他有時似乎又緩和了言辭。但是，川普總統就職後把強化遣返制度當成施政重點，並呼籲增聘數以千計的移民和邊境事務人員。

邁阿密法學院移民和公民法教授戴維·亞伯拉罕解釋說：“DACA不是立法，是行政措施，總統有權徹底或逐步廢棄。”

國會是否會在六個月緩衝期過後採取任何行動，另外，在這段時期，如果有人工卡到期是否可以延長，截止到星期一還沒有明確答案。

川普政府宣佈任何決定前，紐約州和華盛頓州表示，如果川普終止DACA項目的話，他們就會在法庭上對川普的決定提出挑戰。

紐約州州長庫莫發表聲明說：“我們不能坐視不管，眼睜睜看着這些年輕人的生活被毀於一旦。我們有法律和道德上的義務，必須確保法律得到忠實執行，不夾雜歧視或惡意。

衆議院議長保羅·瑞安和其他幾名共和黨議員敦促川普總統不要取消DACA項目。瑞安說，他相信國會能找到辦法保護DACA項目涵蓋的人。

衆議院民主黨領袖南希·佩洛希已請求瑞安本星期與民主黨人合作，以立法的方式爲這些“夢想生”找到出路。

美國兩大政黨都有人同情“夢想生”並支持DACA項目。不過司法部長傑夫·塞申斯等川普內部核心成員和許多國會共和黨籍議員都曾高調批評說，設立DACA項目是行政當局越權。

奧巴馬政府在2012年開始了這一項目，允許符合規定的年輕無證移民合法留在美國工作和上學，給予他們半合法的身份，每兩年延續一次。不過，這個項目並沒有給予讓他們成爲公民的路徑。

符合DACA保護資格的人多數來自墨西哥，其次是危地馬拉、薩爾瓦多、韓國、洪都拉斯和中國。
