The head of the largest public university in Arizona vowed to continue to support young immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children and later attended state universities.
Arizona State University President Michael Crow told KTAR News 92.3 FM that he has always supported advancing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients who have graduated from Arizona high schools onto universities.
“We continue to support the continuation of the program, the continuation of the students moving forward and again doing all that we can to help them be successful with their lives,” he said.
Last year, President Donald Trump called for an end to the Obama-era program that granted temporary work permits to undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children.
But a U.S. judge ruled in January that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program must remain in place while litigation over Trump’s decision unfolds.
