As a deadline from Republican state attorneys general approached, President Donald Trump last week asked White House aides for a “way out” of his campaign pledge to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, the New York Times reported on Monday, citing two people familiar with the exchange.
Searching for a way to end DACA to satisfy his base while still ensuring that DREAMers would be protected, Trump and his aides reportedly landed on a proposal to end DACA with a six month delay. The postponed implementation would theoretically allow Congress to pass legislation restoring DACA’s policies.
Trump’s chief of staff, John Kelly, spoke with Republican lawmakers and devised the six month delay, three officials familiar with the situation told the New York Times. Kelly was also motivated to find a way to keep DACA following reports that DREAMers helped with Hurricane Harvey recovery, per the New York Times.
The President faced pressure from Attorney General Jeff Sessions and senior adviser Stephen Miller, both immigration hard-liners to end DACA, according to the New York Times and Buzzfeed News. Those who had advocated for maintaining DACA, like former chief of staff Reince Priebus, have left the administration, Buzzfeed News noted. Economic adviser Gary Cohn also urged Trump to keep DACA, the Times reported, but Cohn is not currently in the President’s good graces.

... and he doesn't even have the Balls to make the Announcement himself ... he's sending out Sessions :2razz:
Sessions, Not Trump, Will Make DACA Announcement Tuesday Morning
Attorney General Jeff Sessions is scheduled to hold a press conference Tuesday at 11 a.m. where he will reportedly announce the administration’s decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, with a six months delay.
Sessions will not take any questions from reporters following the briefing, according to the Department of Justice’s schedule.
Politico was first to report that President Donald Trump was planning to announce Tuesday that he will end DACA, a move that has seen bipartisan pushback. Sessions will face the cameras instead.
The DACA program was introduced through executive order by Former President Barack Obama in 2012 and is designed to protect undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children from deportation.
