Political Forces Push to End DACA

Rumor has it that President Trump will dismantle the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, perhaps as early as today.  Molly Ball for The Atlantic offers most thoughtful analysis of the political forces pushing for, and opposing, the end of DACA.

It seems fair to say that, if an announcement is made that DACA is ending, there will be mass protests.  The movement for immigrant rights existed well before 2012, when DACA was first announced.  The program, however, energized and empowered that movement, which shows no signs of going away.
