Over the weekend, Tim Cook reaffirmed his support for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the Obama era policy that allows some illegal immigrants to defer deportation. After Attorney General Jeff Sessions took to a podium at the Department of Justice earlier today to confirm the administration’s decision, Cook emailed Apple staff a long memo urging Congress to make the policy permanent.

The memo, which was obtained by TechCrunch this morning, notes Cook’s “deep dismay” at the planned end for a program that could impact the lives of 800,000 Americas. As the executive noted over the weekend, that list includes more than 250 Apple employees.
