President Trump often
emphasizes that President Obama did little or nothing to reign-in DACA by
pursuing gang members.
In 2013, that
statement would be true. The Obama administration terminated protected status
for only 30 DACA recipients. In fairness, the DACA program was in its first
year; and no one could be terminated unless they registered.
The figures steadily
rose from 30 (2103) to 130 (2014), 330 (2015), and 790 (2016) in Obama’s last
year in office.
So, how many DACA
recipients had their status terminated due to gang activity in 2017, President
Trump’s first year in office?
850 people.
850 people.
