Attorney General George Jepsen announced Wednesday that Connecticut is joining 14 other states and the District of Columbia in suing to invalidate President Donald Trump’s decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and to prohibit information gathered through the program to be used for immigration enforcement.
“We intend to vigorously oppose the president’s actions,” Jepsen said in a joint release Wednesday with Gov. Dannel Malloy. “We cannot stand idly by while this administration needlessly and cruelly threatens the futures of more than 10,000 Connecticut residents.”
