News that President Donald Trump is rescinding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program brought reaction on social media from U.S. government officials, former President Barack Obama, and Arizona state officials.
Congress, get ready to do your job – DACA!

.@POTUS‘s decision on #DACA is wrong approach at a time when both sides need to compromise on #immigration reform https://t.co/kPBCUhJ2m4 pic.twitter.com/5stY5spxOC

Today, our country witnessed the pattern of racism this administration continues to practice. The end of #DACA for our youth is disgraceful. pic.twitter.com/QCqRzk3kgy

Soñadores hacen nuestra ciudad y país más fuerte. Su lucha es la nuestra. Trump los está usando como piezas en juegos políticos. Eso es malo

DREAMers are our family, friends neighbors and we have to stand together. Congress must act to fix our #immigration system. #DACA pic.twitter.com/dnP6xl0dsh
