Trump ends amnesty, 7,000 Indians to be hit

News, World

US President Donald Trump today scrapped an Obama-era amnesty programme that granted work permits to immigrants who arrived in the country illegally as children - a move likely to impact 800,000 undocumented workers, including more than 7,000 Indian-Americans.

“The Department of Justice has advised the President and the Department of Homeland Security that DHS should begin an orderly, lawful wind down, including the cancellation of the memo that authorised this programme,” Sessions said.
