Under a phase-out plan announced by President Donald Trump last month, over 150,000 people covered by the Obama-era DACA program were given the chance to submit renewals.
Tens of thousands of young people eligible for renewed protection from deportation had yet to submit their applications hours before a Trump administration deadline Thursday night. The administration was finalizing details of an immigration wish list that could jeopardize a long-term fix.
Under a phase-out plan announced by the president last month, more than 150,000 young people covered by the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program whose permits were set to expire before March 5 were given the chance to submit renewals provided they arrive by October 5.
Trump gave Congress six months to come up with a legislative replacement for the program. It shielded from deportation hundreds of thousands of young people, many of whom were brought into the U.S. illegally as children, and allowed them to work legally in the country.
While final numbers wouldnt be available until next week, DHS spokesman David Lapan said that about 118,000 of the roughly 154,000 people eligible for renewals had submitted their applications by mid-day Thursday. That left 36,000 _ or about 23 percent of those eligible _ outstanding. Facilities processing applications were prepared to accept courier deliveries until midnight, he said.
The deadline approached as the Trump administration finalized the details of a set of immigration principles that could upend efforts to come up with a permanent fix for DACA recipients, often known as Dreamers.

Piss on the state of California!
Looks like he was correct.
I certainly do NOT see any white Europeans in the first poster!!!
How is everything?
I was there a few times myself for stitches and such; the worst part of the closing (it still functions as some kind of medical facility, but no ER) was that a few years earlier neighborhood residents had fought the construction of a big ugly parking garage next to it. They were overruled, the thing was built (in what is really a residential neighborhood), and then the hospital closed...
If I lived there I’d be furious.
