Mark Zuckerberg Calls Trump's Plans to End DACA a 'Sad Day for Our Country'

CEOs of Google, Amazon, Airbnb sign letter of opposition

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other tech executives are speaking out against President Trump’s decision to end a program protecting undocumented immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as minors.

Today, after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced plans to sunset the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program, Zuckerberg took to Facebook to criticize Trump’s decision to end the program created by the Obama administration in 2012. The program shields an estimated 800,000 “Dreamers,” the nickname given to those protected, from deportation by DACA.
