Washington, August 29 (RHC)-- The Donald Trump administration has ended the “Medical Deferred Action” program, which allows immigrants with serious health problems to stay in the U.S. for up to two years beyond the terms of their visas to receive critical treatment.
Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey said: “The administration is now literally deporting kids with cancer,” and that the change would “terrorize sick kids who are literally fighting for their lives.”
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Massachusetts has vowed to fight the policy change in court, taking on the Trump administration on yet another manuever by the White House.
