  – By MOHAMED HAMALUDIN

Press reports have indicated that the U.S. Supreme Court is almost certain to rule that President Donald Trump can end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)  program which his predecessor put in place to shield some 600,000 to 800,000 undocumented immigrants whom their parents brought to the country while they were children.
