House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called President Trump on Thursday asking him to issue a tweet reassuring young undocumented immigrants that they wont be deported in the next six months.
According to a Democratic aide, Pelosi informed colleagues at a House Democratic whip meeting Thursday morning that she asked the president to make clear that recipients under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program wont be subject to deportation as the Trump administration phases it out over the next six months.
Trump tweeted Thursday morning that For all of those (DACA) that are concerned about your status during the 6 month period, you have nothing to worry about - No action!
Under the terms announced by the Trump administration earlier this week, DACA recipients whose permits expire within the next six months have until early October to apply for renewal. But those whose permits run out after the March deadline will see their permits expire unless Congress acts.
