After the Trump administration announced Tuesday that it would begin to unwind an Obama-era program that shields younger undocumented immigrants from deportation, Microsoft vowed to defend its workers in court.
The move follows a week of intensifying criticism from technology executives who strongly support the program, known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), on moral and economic grounds. The administration, however, says that DACA is unconstitutional, and it is looking to Congress to create a solution to addresses the status of DACA workers, as well as broader immigration reforms.
