Trump to Support DACA Protections for More Wall Funding
The president is scheduled to make an announcement on the budget impasse at 4 p.m.
WASHINGTON—President Trump is planning on Saturday to support protections from deportation for some undocumented immigrants in the U.S. in exchange for $5.7 billion to build the southern border wall, said White House officials familiar with the decision.
Mr. Trump is scheduled to make his announcement at 4 pm. Aides cautioned that the announcement has already been delayed once by an hour, and that the president may still change his approach.
The offer to codify protections for young immigrants brought to the U. S. as children, known as Dreamers, is seen as a major concession inside the White House.
