This is the cbs evening news. Mason and this is our western edition. Good evening. Im Anthony Mason. A promise kept by President Trump is a dream lost for thousands of undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children. The president today rescinded the deferred action for childhood arrivals program, better known as daca, which protected these young immigrants from deportation. We have reports from both ends of pennsylvania avenue and reaction from around the country. First, Major Garrett at the white house. I have a great heart for the folks were talking about. Reporter President Trump said his decision to cancel daca Means Congress must act. I have a love for these people and hopefully, now congress will be able to help them. Reporter earlier, attorney general Jeff Sessions called daca unconstitutional. The policy was implemented unilaterally to great controversy and legal concern after congress rejected legislative proposals to extend similar benefits on numerous occasions to this same group of illegal aliens. Reporter president obama implemented daca in 2012. It granted renewable, twoyear work permits to applicants who passed a criminal background check and met other qualifications. The executive action removed the specter of deportation but did not provide a path to citizenship. Deportations will not begin immediately. Existing applications will be processed, but no new applications for work permits will be accepted. Those with permits scheduled to expire in the next six months have until october 5 to apply for an extension. If a permit expires after march 5, 2018, the holder could be subject to removal. The move sparked protests around the country. Supporters of the program note that many of the roughly 800,000 people covered hold fulltime jobs, are enrolled in college, or serve in the military. On facebook, former president obama called the decision selfdefeating, and cruel, writing, kicking them out wont lower the Unemployment Rate or lighten anyones taxes or raise anybodys wages. White House Press SecretarySarah Sanders said President Trump wrestled with his decision. Would he be willing to sign something that simply addresses daca legislatively . The president wants to see responsible Immigration Reform and he wants that to be part of it. But, again, we cant take just a onepiece fix. Reporter as part of that comprehensive Immigration Reform, the white house also wants funds for a border wall, meritbased rules for legal immigration, and visa reforms. Well, these and other immigration issues have tied congress in knots for years. And my colleague, nancy cordes, has been gauging reaction on capitol hill. Reporter major, nothing forces lawmakers hands like a deadline, but when it comes to Immigration Reform in particular, even a deadline may not be enough to break the logjam. The congress is going to have to up its game. Reporter on capitol hill, six months is not a long time, especially when it comes to one of the most contentious issues. These people are our doctors, our teachers, our neighbors. America must be a nation of laws. Reporter the Republican House speaker, paul ryan, expressed hope, not certainty, that congress will find consensus so that those who have done nothing wrong can still contribute as a valued part of this great country. Put yourself in their shoes. Reporter but congressional d action was what led president obama to resort to daca in the first place. We are now in a countdown toward deportation. Reporter illinois democrat, dick durbin, first proposed a solution called the dream act 16 years ago. Today, he and republican Lindsay Graham urged colleagues to finally pass the bill, which stuld allow immigrant students to apply for legal status, and potentially to gain citizenship if they go to college or serve in the u. S. Military. They have no other country, other than america. Theyre no more connected to their home country than i am to scotland, where my grandfather came from. Reporter there are a lot of republicans who feel that if you give these young people legal status, youre just going to incentivize more people to bring their kids here illegally. How do you change their minds . One, this is a realtime problem. The kids will be thrown back into the darkness. That doesnt help fix a broken immigration system to be to take these kids and ruin their lives, and thats what youd be doing. Reporter but even republicans who agree with him are likely to demand that any bill that includes legalization measures also include Border Security measures, like funding for a new wall. And that is something the democrats have vowed to oppose. So you can see, anthony, how, for all of these people whose livelihoods and lives hang in the balance, the biggest obstacle could be gridlock. Mason nancy cordes. Thank you, nancy. Now the reaction from immigrants directly affected, and their supporters. For that we go to john blackstone. Shame shame reporter the decision to end daca triggered protests across the country. Thousands gathered near the white house and outside trump tower in new york. High School Students staged a walkout in downtown denver, and in los angeles, some of those able to come out of the shadows because of daca told their stories. My heart aches today. Reporter yamilex asked us to use only her first name. She says her family came here when she was seven to escape violence in guatemala. We went through so much things that a sevenyearold should never have to go, but it was all because we knew that in this country we would have more opportunities. Reporter and now . Where do i go from here . Reporter ivan ceja, now 26, was just nine months old when his family crossed the border from mexico. I know im vulnerable. Thats valid. I know i can be deported tomorrow. But im not going to go down and give this trump, or sessions, the luxury of seeing me defeated. Reporter in phoenix, Daca Recipients and their families listened to attorney general sessions announcement and shed tears. Vlad stoicescu ghica, a daca recipient born in romania, watched the attorney general on nts laptop in berkeley, where he is now a graduate student. Im not going to, obviously, be eligible to work anymore, and so financially, its going to cause a huge stress. Reporter today, miss reyes proudly wore the cap and sash from her Community College graduation. This fall, she starts at the university of californiadavis. But now, those dreams dont seem quite so clear. No, but i have hope as a way. Reporter many of those who have benefited from daca say that in spite of the new risk, they will continue to speak up in protest. As theyre doing here in los angeles this evening, and more demonstrations are planned for across the country. Anthony. Mason john blackstone. Thanks very much, john. A major hurricane is threatening amuth florida. Irma became a category 5 today with maximum sustained winds of 185 miles an hour, the most powerful ever recorded in the atlantic. Craig setzer is chief meterologist at wfor, our cbs station in miami. Craig, how is the storm tracking . The storm is tracking to the west, and not forecast to lose any intensity. Its going to be a bad night, if not a catastrophic night in the northern Leeward Islands tonight. Then after that, its along the northern caribbean islands, puerto rico under the gun here. Still forecast to be category 5. This is the thursday time frame. Further west it goes, and as we get into the saturdaysunday time frame, the cone widens out, of course, because of the uncertainty. And it should be somewhere in this general area, but lots of possibilities. If its further to the south, could weaken over cuba just a little bit, still expected to be a quite powerful storm. But if it stays over the water, its going to be pushing a tremendous amount of storm surge with it, and that could be very impactful for south florida as well as the keys. To show the uncertainty, were showing one model here. Its run many different times. This is the saturday evening timeframe here, and you can see all these different numbers. Theyre all possibilities of where the storm could be. Then sometime between saturday night and sunday, its going to turn to the north. Is it going to be up here . Is it going to be right across florida . Is it going to be in the gulf coast . To early to tell. Just a lot of uncertainties. So the word here to everybody is just prepare, prepare, prepare. Anthony.

The big thing is, this is a dangerous storm. I dont want to lose one person. Reporter an urgent warning from Florida Governor rick scott, who has already declared a statewide emergency. The first area of concern, the florida keys, with more than 80,000 residents and tourists. Much of the island chain sits at three to five feet above sea level and the storm surge could be 10 feet. Emergency manager Martin Senterfitt for the florida keys, if you were going to create the worst case scenario, thats what were now looking at. Reporter traffic out of the islands is building, with mandatory evacuations starting tomorrow. We found residents like susan berenyi taking no chances. Se its unnerving only because of, what are we going to come back to, the aftermath . Reporter throughout south florida, people are stocking up on water and other supplies, leaving some store shelves bare. In floodprone miami beach, where a simple storm in august flooded streets, pumps are in place, but theyre not built for a hurricane. Still, with evacuation zones expanding, we found some plan to stay. I have family up in boynton. I can go there, but i mean, i cant, you know the captain has got to stay with the ship, right . In reporter adding to the urgency of evacuating the keys is that bridge highway 1 is the only way in or out. Governor scott has already activated 100 National Guard troops to help with hurricane preparations and 7,000 more will report for duty on friday. Anthony. Mason manuel bojorquez, thank you, manuel.
