Six immigrants brought to the United States as children who became teachers, graduate students and a lawyer are suing the Trump administration over its decision to end a program shielding them from deportation.
The lawsuit filed today in San Francisco says the move violated the constitutional rights of immigrants who lack legal status and provided information about themselves to the US government to participate in the program.
Their lawyers say it is the first time these immigrants have brought a lawsuit since President Donald Trump ended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
Department of Justice spokesman Devin O'Malley blamed the Obama administration for starting the program and says the agency will defend Trump's decision.
