Trump to announce DACA decision Tuesday

Pharmacist Camilo Rozo worries about losing job if program ends

MIAMI – The White House announced that a decision on DACA will come Tuesday.

The fate of thousands of young undocumented immigrants in South Florida is now in question amid reports that President Donald Trump might stop the program that protects them as early as Friday.

During a press briefing Friday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the president is taking his time to make his decision.

"He loves people and wants to make sure that this decision is done correctly," said Huckabee Sanders.

"Right now, it's a little uneasy, because I don't know what the future holds," Camilo Rozo, a beneficiary of the DACA program, said.

Rozo's parents brought him to Miami from Colombia when he was 1 and a half without any documentation.

He now works as a pharmacist in Orlando.

Rozo said he is worried that he might lose his job if DACA ends.

"I have my fingers crossed and I have high hopes that things will work out," he said.

South Florida's congressional delegation continues to speak in support of the program.

U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Florida, tweeted that the "POTUS must uphold pledge to treat Dreamers with great heart and give these young folks certainty to stay in the U.S. -- the only country they know."

"It will be absolutely devastating to the lives of dreamers who know only this country in almost all cases," U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Florida, said.

Groups like the Florida Immigrant Coalition have started calling all DACA recipients, offering legal resources and asking what their plans are if the program ends.

"Just making sure they feel protected and supported," Melissa Taveras, of the Florida Immigrant Coalition, said. "That's our priority right now."
