Former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday called President Donald Trump’s decision to end DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, “cruel.”

Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that Trump had rescinded the program earlier Tuesday morning. DACA protects nearly 800,000 undocumented young people from deportation. That protection will expire as early as March 6 for some DACA recipients.
