From Church World Service (http://www.churchworldservice.org):
Right now the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival could be rescinded by the Trump Administration at any moment. Ten attorneys general have threatened to sue Trump if he doesn’t terminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program by September 5th, we’re concerned that Trump could end the program before then.
