WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to rescind an Obama-era policy that protects nearly 600,000 immigrants who entered the country illegally as children, but plans to let them stay until their work permits expire, a senior administration official said on Thursday. Trump’s decision could be announced as early as Friday but could also come next week, the official said. What to do about the so-called Dreamers has been actively debated within the White House and Trump administration. One senior administration official described the situation as a “tug of war” between factions in favor of the move and those opposed. Officials, believing the DACA program to be ultimately unconstitutional, want Congress to impose a legislative fix for the Dreamers, two officials said.
