A new Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy report examined the state and local tax contributions of young immigrants eligible for DACA and found that, collectively, they annually contribute $2 billion in state and local taxes, but this number would drop by nearly half without DACA protection.

The US Commission on Civil Rights on Monday criticized the Trump administration for the way it is arresting undocumented immigrants, saying it could be harmful to "access to justice." The public rebuke from a federally appointed commission adds to a chorus of local and state officials who have pleaded with the administration to not arrest immigrants at courthouses, an action that advocates say can hurt public safety by making people afraid to cooperate with law enforcement.
President Donald Trump remarked Friday that undocumented immigrants known as "dreamers" should "rest easy," the latest of his statements to indicate his administration won't take a hardline approach to dealing with the group.

Federal officials, however - in both the Obama and Trump Administrations - have said Sanctuary Cities are risky to both the communities who end up getting serious criminals released onto their streets, and to the immigration agents who then have to go out into the communities to arrest them.

Several ''dreamers'' told The Associated Press on Friday that they were not comforted by Trump's pledge, in an AP interview, that he wouldn't target the almost 800,000 people brought to the U.S. as children and living in the country illegally under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program enacted by his predecessor, Barack Obama.
